How Much $ Do Hospital Bills Run?

Just wondering how much $ it is to have a
baby at a hospital in the u.S.! I am
very new at this lol! I've heard that
even with good insurance, it will cost
about $5,000. My family doesn't know
because we haven't had any new babies in
the past 12 years (except my sis, but she
works in a children's hospital and she was
fully covered). Any input would
certainly help! I have to keep holding
my hubby back from ordering more palm
trees (his addiction) so we can keep tons
of money in savings for hospital bills!
I'm so worried! Lol

If I remember correctly, it cost
~$2500-$2800 before insurance to have my
son with an uncomplicated vaginal
delivery. I have a $250 deductable with a
90/10 split and I don't think I even paid
$500 in total after insurance. You should
be able to go online to your insurace
carrier and pull up an estimated cost of
procedure. This will tell you approx.
How much a particular procedure will cost
in your area. This time i'm looking at
~$550-$650 out of pocket to have my
daughter (better hospital). Hth

My hospital bill (from 7 years ago) ran
close to 12,000 without insurance for an
uncomplicated pregnancy/delivery.
If you contact your insurance company,
they will gladly tell you what you need to
know as for average cost of uncomplicated
delivery/etc.

Let's see mine was.....0$!!!!! Bwahahaha
actually they wanted to charge me for my
private room as my insurance only covers
semi private but as they had no semi
private and I was stuck in the surgical
ward and not the post-natal ward, they
told me I did not have to pay!
