Ozcy thanks jare !!! But dunno where my lady is taking us as per d accommodation is filled up for now.. Anyways it will end in praise jare.

Theres a way Amazon does it, they can bill you direct in Naira, which is way better than bank exchange rate, or they bill you in Usd and the bank changes with ther own rate. Open an account with Amazon and choose Naira as ur currency or when you enter your card detail

I may be wrong but i think if you wanna use the port health fit to fly then you will have to go to the port health clinic before check-in.

Hello people...hope everyone had a fab holiday.
Just requested for my medical report & fit to fly from my hospital & they are billing me an arm & a leg for each. Can i simply use the fit to fly from Port Health? Would close eye & pay only for the medical report. I'm flying Air France...Anyone been in a similar situation?

Nope, sorry to burst ur bubble.

Infact UBA declined my transactions because of the Amazon rates. You will still be charged at bank rate if the transaction is approved.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by ccurrie: 4:26pm On Jan 04, 2016
thank you. For many pages there is nothing on it and in all my reading, 4 were mentioned which are not even cheaper. Anyway, I can't read through all the threads now that it's last minute which is why I do not expect one person to reply me. If you had one in mind it would take you relatively d same or less time n space to say "OakBend Houston". Not a biggie if you know one...well that's my thinking. Thanks though for your advice.

If you read through, you will find hospitals that are cheaper. Good luck reading

Please can people reply me on this thread? Since I was directed here a few wks ago, I have gathered all d info on change of intent, POEs to avoid, good doctors and all... I did not ask any unnecessary questions and I did the research myself. Now I need to leave soon and so far in all my reading havent really found hospitals cheaper than oakbend. If you know one could you just drop the name (not cost or quote or number) so I can google d rest and contact them? we know how the thread is I have looked through alot of the convo...all the parts, but hospital names come up very randomly and I can't just know if ts cheaper or not. So if you know, please help. thank u and God bless you.

Hi ccurrie, Check out HNMC - Houston Northwest Medical Center or WHMC - West Houston Medical Center. Bear in mind though, that it is the combination of Obgyn, Hospital, Lab, Nursery, Paed, Epidural fees etc. that determines whether the entire package is cheaper or not. But i hope this info can help with a shorter research period. You will have to do a bit of calling to get a combo that is fair for you.

All the best

try bentaub...
I know it's cheaper..
But u don't av a specific Dr.. It's kinda like a teaching Hospital.
the ward isn't a room to urself. It's divided...

(But u can Remove the epidural fee from the hospital u av seen so far and it'll b cheaper)

Before my pm is bombarded By people
That's all d information I have...
I don't have any other extra information about it pls.

There are cheaper ones but each of the hospitals has peculiar issues that has been discussed in the previous threads. I can tell you Houston Northwest is cheaper but when you get slammed with a paediatrician bill that is ridiculous, have I done you any good? As it is as well, I can't list the peculiarities of each hospital to you. Your research therefore goes beyond name of hospitals. When you strive to thoroughly "glance through" you will find more useful information. That's my two cents. Happy hunting

How sure are you that her aim of going for the missionary journey is for her American baby to be tied to America.
I refuse to believe that's what everybody's aim is.

First bank used to do this for me till last week when they denied my card repeatedly. I called them and they said they are no longer honoring Naira payments on foreign sites, that I should use the 'pay in dollar' option... I changed my payment currency to $$ on Amazon and first bank honored it but converted @ their own rate i.e 273 undecided undecided...

Its not a queer question...very delicate issue for some tribes...the diabolic things done wt d cord make me cringe (village ppl can be fetish..lets protect our innocent children) My dear just flush it yourself..don't give your baby's cord to anyone..if your inlaws ask later..you can give them some cock and bull's story for peace sake.
