Apparently, I had the initial quote from henrico doctors hospital and had all my prenatal test done there. I then read drafricana’s post about henrico and visa renewal. At the POE, I was sent to secondary inspection. The IO that attended to me asked what hospital I wanted to use, gave him the henrico doctors hospital result and all. He then ask if that is the main hospital I wanted to use, I then mentioned to him I had changed my mind and showed him Dr Moore’s letter and all that I am aware of the insurance more reason I had to change my hospital. He replied saying; if you had told me you wanted to use this hospital, I would have send you back to Nigeria because they claim self pay whereas they use insurance and taxpayers money.
So, Mothers if possible kindly avoid hospitals with self pay price or rediculous bills. He accepted the Maryland own and stamped me in. I then asked if I wouldn’t have issue with the hospital, he said provided I pay all my bills.

@drafrican, thanks a lot for your help and advice... your advice saved me at point of entry. Mothers in Virginia if possible kindly don’t accept the self pay price. The immigration officer specifically told me if I had said I was going to use henricos doctors hospital, he was going to send me back to Nigeria because they use insurance.
Thanks once again @drafrican.

I placed a call to the financial counsellor at henrico doctors hospital about the bill and discount given. She actually said the normal bill for all patient is about 8000-13000$ for vaginal delivery but the hospital runs a package that gives a flat rate of $2375 as hospital bill for international self pay patient which is not Medicare, government sponsored or charity. Also, she mentioned that they don’t get the reimbursement from the government because the more international patient or any self pay citizen that can pay the $2375, the more profit the hospital makes.
I also mentioned that I am from Nigeria and needed to clarify the Medicaid fraud the embassy talks about and she mentioned she has recieved call from the embassy and they keep clarifying them on it, as there bill is transparent. I think that is all I could get from the call.
