Hi, please how long after your delivery did you get your bill from Pediatrix? I have called over 4 times since the 20th when i had my baby and they don't have my billing information yet. They said it can take up to 30 days. I asked why it would take 30 days when they offer a prompt payment discount thats only valid for 30 days after delivery and they said they'd still honour the discount. I need to settle my bills before i leave in 2 weeks. Also which paediatrician did you use please? My first visit alone was 120 usd. Chinemeze17: |

Hello fam! Mine's a bit complicated though I've read through the entire thread but wish to state my specific situation for more clarity. I & my family were issued US tourists visas in 2016 that are due to expire this October and we're planning to use them this month before Dropbox. But the issue is I just discovered I'm a few weeks pregnant please note: this wasn't planned at all. However, we've decided to keep it & have baby in the States which I'm due in November. Please what is the safest option for my situation? My plan is to return to Nigeria this April & do a Dropbox in may and email the embassy a 'letter of change of intent' Please throw more light and suggestions.... Sorry for the long epistle. Thanks |

CheeseMama: The front agents are clueless about self pay patients. Ask to speak to Mary in Central Billing and give her your baby’s last name and first name (Not your name) to trace your account then you can make payments over the phone. Also look out in your mail for your Pediatrix account information, Mine came in about 2 weeks after I had my baby. 2 Likes |

cookies: You hardly have done @the bolded, really. Your narration isn't peculiar, the thread is replete with similar cases.... Change of intent letter after Dropbox when you were already pregnant before doing the Dropbox? Issorai! Your pregnancy is yet young if I got you right, why not just do things right? Pick the B2 option when filling your DS160, pick an option that points in the direction of "I want to birth in the US" as you move along filling the form, and apply for Dropbox. Gather and perfect your burden of proof in preparation for a call up to a follow-up interview just in case. Regards 4 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by cookies: 7:53am On Apr 04, 2018 |
OmoBendel24: Thank you for your response. If I understand you well you said I should go on with the Dropbox while filling the DS160 B2 option and submit it alongside then wait to be called for interview? And yes I'm due this November? Please bear in mind that I'd be renewing together with hubby & my 2 kids. Thanks |

cookies: You may not be called in for an interview, I just talked of a worse-case scenario. Key here is to gather and have a tight burden of proof and point towards "I'm planning to birth in the US" as you fill your form. You can use the opportunity of this your upcoming visit to the US to gather part of your burden of proof if you can, that's doctor/hospital correspondence, accommodation, etc. Then your financials, perfect it. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Nobody: 9:18am On Apr 04, 2018 |
OmoBendel24: cookies: @cookies...OmoBendel has said it all....just thought i might suggest another option that is similar.....maybe do Dropbox for your husband and 2 kids but for yourself waive the Dropbox option and just attend an interview. I'm suggesting it because some mamas after applying for Dropbox were called for interviews and these interviews cannot be expedited unlike the regular interviews. |

And the time as come for Oakbend to join others. I can authoritatively confirm that Oakbend has increased its fees by about 100% if you register and pay before the 36th week and even higher if you pay after 36th week. Epidural fees are nt optional again but however refundable for vaginal birth if not used. Hearing test is COMPULSORY now and included in their fee. Thank God for the opportunity to have had 2 Oakbend born babies before this 'heart-paining" increase. For more info, check Oakbend's website or ask your doctor. 2 Likes |

Hi everyone. I am a silent reader on this thread and just thought to share my POE experience. I arrived Miami Florida yesterday via Virgin atlantic from lagos to London and London to Miami. My final destination was tampa though so i flew American airlines to tampa from Miami. I used virgin because i wanted to break the journey and have a long wait so that i can go into london and rest for the night. So we arrived London 4.30pm and i went straight to immigration and used my existing uk visa to gain entry. The officer just asked how long i intended staying in the UK and i said 1 night cus am just transiting. He stamped me in and didn't ask any further question. I checked into a hotel close to the airport and terminal 3 which is virgin atlantic terminal and rested for the night as my next leg of travel was the next day at 11.35. I left the hotel the next day ay 8am and got to the airport in 6mins using the Heathrow hoppa bus. I went straight to the counter to get my boarding pass as my bags were already checked in from lagos directly to Miami. The journey to miami from london was 9 hours which was smooth. I arrived Miami at about 3.50pm US time, i went directly to the immigration but was advised to use the self service, i used the machine and printed out the receipt which was successful, then queued to see an immigration officer, it got to my turn and i was asked if i was in the US for business and i said NO that i was here to have my baby, he said how long do i intend to stay and i said 2 months. He said goodluck and stamped me in. It was so smooth that i cldn't believe it myself as i had prepared all the documents of life. I went straight to the belt and my bags were already waiting, i didnt declare anything and i had lots of foodstuff like garri, beans, egusi, ogbono, green indomie, knorr maggi cubes, pepper, black fish, grinded crayfish and pepper soup ingredients. I just went ahead, picked my bags and that was it. My doctors appointment is tommorrow and i will update u guys on cost and hospital shortly. Thank u and i wish myself a successful and stressless delivery! 24 Likes |
