Everythng I learnt was from dis forum.
Thank you all.....

Hi guys,
For those of us that used HNWMC and got billed by Pediatrix for the pediatrician services, please be sure that the payment you made & discount given reflects on your account……………especially if you have been given a discount.


In our own case, we got our bill early July - $1456; we called a number of times to request for a healthy baby package and after many calls they eventually gave a 50% discount - $728 and we were given until 3rd Aug to pay.
At this point, our question to them was would they be able to send us a new bill that will reflect the 50% discount (The reason behind our question was for us to have a documented proof that we were given this discount when we present our docs at the Embassy or at POE in the future)?
Every agent we spoke to advised that another bill cannot be sent out and that the discount and our payment will reflect on our account (mymedicalme account). After so much persistence, we were told that the request will be sent to central billing and so our account was on hold. The account was on hold for over 2 weeks and after several calls to them, we were advised that they cannot send out a revised bill.
We eventually paid the $728. After 2 business days I checked our mymedicalme account and it was still showing :
Payoff Amount: $728
Amount Due: $728
Due Date Oct 2018.
So I had to call them again. I had to explain myself all over again to the agent I spoke with…..she advised that it will be referred to central billing and put the account on hold. It took them another week to rectify this, and finally our account is now showing Amount Due: $0.


So if you used HNWMC/Pediatrix, please confirm your account has a Zero Balance to avoid stories that touch in the future.

I just sent you an email,I need to know how to go about the hospital you used and the Dr with the fees.The state I am presently is too high for me to afford

Hello all.

Been awhile someone posted birth experience with cost breakdown. What I see most times is "send me dm I will email you". Isn't this thread set up for all to see info? Hmmnnn...

As for those asking for doctoresparati in El Paso, I used them in 2015 and total bill was $5,410 for vagina delivery but going through their website recently, what I saw is over $5,800 for vagina delivery. So there agent here saying cost has not changed in 14years, am I missing something?

I have an interview at the embassy on Tuesday 21 and I learnt its public holiday, please what should I do ?

DFmum:

What do you want to do? Go for ur interview nah?

ugoguchy:
I had similar experience my dear,mine was in may,at 41 weeks,went into active labour,left for the hospital, heartbeat was monitored,nurse said i cant get the heartbeat please lay sideways,i managed to get into that position and the heartbeat was finally picked but wasn't regular,next thing water broke and it was greenish,baby has pooped inside,few minutes later baby came out,was rushed to NICU,heartrate was fluctuating,she couldn't breathe on her own,she was placed on oxygen, antibiotics too,during that period a cardiologist had to be called in to examine her heart,she spent 3 nights in NICU,each night was amounting to $20k,she was stable after the 2nd night and the oxygen was taken out,upon discharge we got the total bill of almost $60k,i paid paediatrician,radiologist, cardiologists,gynaecologist differently,am glad we came out victorious, the devil really tried so had,starting from my visa processing but we over came,we are back and all bills cleared,the placenta to come out is story for another day,it was a short but difficult labour that ended in praise....

Terrifying experience, but good to know that it ended well.
But was it the neonatalogists, etc. who charged so much for NICU? General NICU rate is $1000-3600 that much i gathered ..

Isy sleek I have been having my kids with doctores for years now and I am going back again this year..The cost still remains the same.

Peadiatrician bill looked different then I saw a mandatory something that is $250 and something else cant recall, which I didn't pay back then.

I'll check again and send them an email to clarify.

Sorry I used Henricho doctor’s hospital not HNWMC

Expert advise needed !!

I would be traveling to Texas (USA) next month and would be there till December for delivery. And I’m traveling along with my children (2years and 10 years old) If I decide to put my children in their public schools for the duration of my stay, would that affect my next US visa application ? Would they refuse to grant me another visa ?

Thanks for your anticipated response.

Pls a friend wants to sell some Similac formula she got for her baby from the US.

Costs is N12,000 each

Pls reply if interested or send a pm.

Thank you

Are your children Missionary Kids? If they are Missionary kids you really dont have anything to worry about. If they are not you might just need to ensure you follow the requirements of the school for foreigners/international students. But generally, I dont think its really an issue that will affect your visa renewal

Advantage and not similac, please

Thanks for your response, I really do appreciate. My children are not missionary kids. They are Nigerian children that accompanied their mom.

What she actually meant by that is were your children born in the states? Are they citizens of the United States?

Lol@ Missionary kids...

To answer your question @lollipop29

I know someone whose visa was denied because of this same reason- she enrolled her son in a public school for a short period... but you know, we never know the true story...

So I decided to do a quick online search on the topic and saw THIS and many more...

Basically, your children may not be asked their status by the school and may be enrolled without much ado... the problem there is that it is a DIRECT VIOLATION of your B1/B2 visa and you may find it very difficult renewing your visas

No, they were born in Nigeria
