Hello all, pls I have a question on behalf of a friend who had her baby December last year. She paid all bills but left without paying the epidural which was billed separately. So she said she called them last week to pay up the bill amounting to about 1500dollars. They told her they no longer have the bill as it's been sent to the debt collectors. She called the debt collectors and was able to pay uo on that day. They said they will send a receipt to her via email. Now her worry is that, she doesn't know if the fact that the bill was sent to d debt collectors will cause problems for her at poe or when ever she wants to renewher visa despite the fact that she has paid it off. I told her I will seek for opinions here |

ME: I work at......as...... Attempted to give her letter of introduction from place of work which easily had what I earned but she said never-mind. VO: Does your company do so and so........ ME: Yes we do VO: (Now she asked a particular question that has to do with activities of my company) ME: I was surprised and gladly answers....she smiles...ok VO: Any financial documents?

aye88:No, I had the same issue and even renewed my visa before paying the bill. I realized I had an unpaid bill when a friend brought mails from the US. Although I was able to pay the hospital directly not debt collectors. Also no questions asked at POE. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by sugah: 5:39pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
emjayfay: Former staff of Gtbank? Only 2k? Na wa! My account manager claims they are attending to people traveling in June first before they attend to others. Im keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks |

Hi all, want to give back and so you dont make some mistakes i made too. lol Gave birth at Northside hospital. i give God the glory. my obgyn was Dr dodder she was so encouraging during all the pain and accurately predicted my labour day which was obviously different from my due date. nice huh! Hospital bill advance pay -3550 got additional 226 bill ( They didn't explain much but i guess i would prefer to reject the nursery and ask more questions next time) Epidural - 3000 with 25% discount 2250 (Didn't expect to pay this much, if i knew it would come down to this i would have chopped the pain like that lol. North side anesthesiologist which is separate from the hospital Obgyn- used North Atlanta Obgyn - charged 2200 and used my Nigerian lab test which you have to insist on pediatrician- used Children's care pediatrics, Dr John M. Thomas- first and second visit at the hospital cost 115 after discounts. subsequent visits were made which are at your discretion and you pay for each visit. infant ticket -363 united airline paid over the phone (paying at the airport may b cheaper) Us passport -105 plus 60 expedited ( if you have almost 3 weeks b4 you leave, just use the normal route. dont pay for expedited) my brother got his in 2 weeks one day. Naija passport is cheaper than getting a visa. its 77 plus 30 processing fee. if you want it same day you pay 65 more.There are agents at the embassy that charge 28 to help you make payment. also go with a prepaid postage envelope if you want it mailed to you so you dont ve to go back for pick up and keep the tracking numbers. Hep b vaccine can b taken at birth or at the ped. pls ensure you get yours. Thanks all. please google for phone numbers and safe delivery to other mums.signing out. 22 Likes |

Hi Wolefola, Congrats on the success of ur missionary journey! Please, kindly pm me the details of the doctor and accommodation that you used. Also, is the hospital good becos someone gave me negative reviews about them? That someone was trying to sell her maternity package to me which included hospital+doc reg, acc, transp, weekly grocery shopping et al! Which airline did you book ur flight with? KLM/Airfrance? Also, how long did it take you to process all the docs for ur baby? Thanks. I used Houston northwest and I used dr xydas.The hospital is very okay mind u am not really the type dat expect s too much oo so it depends on u but its really ok.Well dnt understand what u mean by maternity package oo what d hospital have for sef paying patient or the uninsured is called miracle moment and it just for ur hospital stay nothing else included.You pay ur doc separately,anaesthetic ,pead etc u must use pead group during ur stay in d hospital and dey also refer u to dia anaesthetic who will give u bill separately.I stayed with my family,booked airfrance,finished all d baby document in less dan 3weeks.I had him on 6th of may and am back in naija. |

Good day everyone, Have been reading through the trend and I want to say thanks to everyone that contributes Please am filling my B2 form and am confused about who is sponsoring my trip, although my husband who has his own business is sponsoring my trip but he has a lot of money in his business account more than his personal account, my question is : should I fill in his company/organisation as my sponsor and take a later from the company stating he is the owner and will be sponsoring and also the certificate of his ownership or should I take is personal bank statement for the interview? Thanks |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by jinglesbaby: 1:18pm On Jun 04, 2016 |
Thanks Wolefola for your reply. Had the gut feeling you used Dr Xydas! Xydas and Zimmerman charge less than the dr that I contacted so I am porting. Return ticket is abt 450K now on Emirates which I am yet to book even though I am still looking for an affordable acc. My family friends dnt live in Texas and I dnt want to change my POE to New England/Atlanta where I have pple. wolefola: |
