The $60,000 Baby

Apparently it cost about the same to surgically excise Tiny Boy from my uterus as it did to put him in there in the first place.

Yes, I just received a bill to the tune of $24K because the hospital billed the wrong fucking insurance company.  Oops.

Thankfully, maternity care is covered 100% when billed, you know, correctly.

Now I just have to see how long it takes them to do that.

  1. Amusing -- I was on the phone with hospital billing the morning of my c-section trying to explain to them that they had the wrong insurance info on file, despite the fact that I had dropped off a patient form and copy of the correct insurance card.

    And then they billed my (correct) insurance company 2x.

    Sigh.
