Well 4 MIHS pls call d hosp financial dept as regards wat u r suppose 2 pay & work wit wat is been given 2 u. D $2888 is d old fee and has been increased 2 $5400. If u didn't book b4 d price increase u'll pay d $5400 if nt u'll pay d old price. Pls call 2 confirm

you are right but phema said in response to a question that the 5400 or old price does not cover hospital and physician costs. i doubt that is why i ask. i tot after oaying $5400, u wont pay anything again there assuming for a natural birth..

I agree that the thread is meant to be helpful, but surely, why should people keep asking questions that have been discussed time and again? it's only fair that people go through the thread and then ask for clarification or questions on information that they cannot find on the thread. It gets boring seeing the same questions each and every day. Anyone who is seriously seeking info should be able to read, and asking people to refer them to specific pages means that we should go back searching the thread just to direct them to the right page? I think that's expecting too much.

Emirates does not take one to Doha, check again, unless you're talking about Qatar airlines. Emirates will only transit through Dubai

they have a Nigerian doctor by name Tolani Abdullahi, her office no is there you can contact her. Goodluck!

aye88:


@wumicipm. Do you have an idea of the cost. I've Googled the hospital and called the numbers I saw on their site but no response. Pls if you have an idea on the cost and a doctor to use, pls share

Good day everyone, can anyone give explanation on what a cord banking means? Thank

Don't have expert explanations but you can have d cord stored with certain companies for specific durations & pay for the service.now in the case of bone marrow issues,autism,sickle cell n others they can use the stored cells to remedy d situation. Just my lil contribution

Hello MIHS moms whom already gave birth. Please i would like to know if any of you had your child under phototherapy for billirubin, if any what was the cost sent after the treatment?

Bros there are no professionals here in this matter, people have paid the price by doing loads of research, sent dozens of e mails, made calls and have had to read, if anyone is serious minded enough it would only be wise to say that you should be ready to make some form of sacrifice by reading through the thread no matter how lengthy, taking notes and coming up with informed questions.... No one that has gone through this thread would say it isn't informative enough at least for starters....... For now I'm holding on to my bottle of Pepsi with my bowl of groundnuts and watching .......

I quite understand and agree to wat u said and its similar to wat I wrote too....its annoying truly to ask questions over and over again and av not insinuated that d question shld be answered and for anyone to stress herself on goin tru d pages to refer another person just in d name of answering a question.....my dear I read and read before I joined d family...and I always note d page where I stopped so as to knw where to start anytime I log in...I once asked a question upon all my wole soyinka reading and phema directed me to a page which was very useful and if anyone ask same question I will be glad to refer he/she cos I knw where it was discussed not by going out of my way to answer
Just looking for a familiar and better way to relate with ourselves...thats all!

Please help a sister, Houston Mamas bikoooooo

Dr. La now charges a non-refundable deposit of $150 which will eventually be deducted from your full payment. I know El Paso charges $150 as well, not sure if they make it part of your payment.
His fees like so many have mentioned already are:
$3340: $2500 doctor's charges, $445 labs, $145 initial visit, $250 ultrasound. I tried to negotiate, them no gree. I have tried to see if I can do some of the tests here in Nigeria but the prices I am getting at my hosp is more expensive so, the $445 will be going to them.

I am leaning more towards him bc I think he is expensive for a reason. Done my research on him and compared him with the other doctors at WHMC. To ice it, with the wonderful comments at the beginning of this thread about him, one of my friends used him last year and says good things about him and his services. Plus WHMC is a better location for me.

Other fees include:
WHMC vag/CS: 2500/4000
Epidural: 1200
Surg Assistant: 250
Paediatrics: 500/600
Pathology: 200/400
Hearing Test: $326
Circumcision: $325
I believe the last three can be negotiated.

I see Houston is getting more traffic nowadays bc of MIHS's change in cost. Good luck big bumps! Any January houston bound mama's that want to hook up can write me at my username at rocke t m ail. I will not accept pms.

Dr Huynh does not accept payment until your first appointment.

Hello mamas, please current and previous houston mamas, can I get the no of a cab driver in Houston, this yellow can is damn expensive and I need to do so serious running around dis weekend cos am leaving for naija on Monday and i ran out of cash, wish to get a naija cabbie dat will charge for a day ride.

Hello,
You could check dr huynh also. She's slightly cheaper. As for the hearing test. I doubt that you'd be able to negotiate that further coz that's the discounted price for self-pay patients. Pathology will give you up to 50% discount if you ask. Circ cost varies per doctor. Your ultrasound & pedi costs seem to be on the high side tho. I think you shpuld compare prices with other doctors @ whmc sha. It cld be cheaper than this.
Cheers
