Phema:

Are you sure they said that? Did you go there physically or you called them?

I asked and they specifically said that even people with old appointments will pay the new price.

Yes I was there with another mum who had her financial appointment today.
Sometimes the customer service reps can be confused. You may need to call twice to get the right information. This came from the lady who takes care of the financials which is usually the first appointment.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by malory84: 9:17pm On Sep 23, 2014
But on a lighter note, its almost the same price with elpaso. only that elpaso flight tickets are higher coz the place far no be small. almost 5hours from NYC. So Mihs is still OK, u just have to upgrade your bugdet.

How I wish this is actually true. Each representative tend to say something different. Called another number now and the lady apparently didn't even know that the new maternity plan was out. Said I should call back on Oct 1st as that is when they will know the new plan.

In my mind I just said "see this one dey inside river and soap still dey enter her eye" grin

Confused lot! angry

Wait o!
So this our El Paso / MIHS battle has become a full scale war!
Oh boy! PDP and APC didn't come on this strong!

Anyways, I am still team MIHS, but please let's be researching for cheaper options o! Cheaper hospitals supposed de US, we must overcome! Can someone check out Tucson Medical Centre in Arizona too, I hear they have maternity packages.
Many hospitals have discounts of up to 40% for self pay patients.

Phema: Morning everyone. Please MIHS mamas, who has used Phoenix as her POE with BA? How did it go? Are the CBPs nice?

I'm thinking of going with BA and using Phoenix as my POE. I just want to have an idea of what to expect.


@phema flying with BA to the states may require a transit VISA . I am sure of this. My colleague hard to change his flight because of this Uk border authority demand for transit VISA. But do your inquiry properly before booking BA.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by ogbenyalu: 1:54am On Sep 24, 2014
@ikymom u do not need a transit visa to fly BA to the US. I just flew BA to the US a few weeks back I even changed from terminal 3 to terminal 5 to catch my connecting flight, apart from the normal security check nobody will even ask for your passport talkless of transit visa.

ajoke01: @ ajoke01

I went for my appointment at Northpointe obgyn yesterday o, doctor was ok. I am still very confused cos I just got the total hospital estimates from Northside hospital today. for normal delivery,one day postpartum stay, mothers bill and newborn- 3640, epidural-1040, obgyn-2500.The C/S cost, mothers bill and newborn-6420 Anesthesia- 2400, obgyn- 3200. So I may go to Gwinnett if I will be having C/S.


Atlanta hosps will do that to you, for Gwinette it is Normal Vaginal delivery estimated charges for a two day stay can be from $4,000.00 to $6,000.00. C-Section estimated charge is $10,000 to $12,000.00. Estimate includes baby’s nursery charges, estimated cost for baby’s nursery charges can be $1,000 - $1,500.
If you are uninsured. You will receive a 40% discount for services if paid before the first 30 days. A 30% discount if paid before 60 days and a 20% discount if paid before 90 days. If you are unable to take advantage of discounts, you can make payment arrangements in our Patient Accounts Department by calling 678-312-5600.
Anesthesiologists will bill you separately and they have flat rates if paid up front, you can call directly to: American Anesthesiology # is 866-507-5244.
Referral line for OB-Gyn Doctors is 678-312-5000. Doctors have different care packages for prenatal care.
Epidural is 500usd if you prepay and 1200 if you decide to use during labour and delivery.
Obgyn (dr Oduro) is 2150 excludes labs, circumsicion (250)
I think dr soyoola is 1800 (I have not called his office personally, but I read that quote from here somewhere)

Emory midtown is :,
The estimated global fee for Prenatal Care and Vaginal Delivery is $8,136. The estimated global fee for Prenatal Care and Caesarean Section Delivery is $8,991. These fees assume a normal progression of pregnancy; including a routine number of pregnancy related visits, the physician delivery fee and post-partum six week follow up visit.
Financial arrangements available for quoted vaginal delivery pricing of $8,136 are as follows:
▪ A 35% discount will be given if the full discounted amount of $5,288.40 paid at the initial visit. (This represents a savings of $2,847.60 in overall cost.)
▪ If you are unable to pay in full, a 50% deposit of $4,068 is required at your initial visit.
▪ If paying in installments, the second installment of $2,034 is required at 24 weeks gestation. The final installment of $2,034 is required at 32 weeks gestation, or prior to a scheduled delivery date.

Piedmont is :
The prices are for services rendered to mom and baby for a Normal Delivery.

Emory John creek: is 3900 and 5900 vaginal and CS plus 2&3 days stay in hospital respectively , it excludes physician, pediatric visits, labs, anesthesia,labs, et al......


There are more hosps in the Atlanta area sha oh! That you can mail and call or visit for inquiries so you can make an informed decision.

That's if you are changing airports e.g from heathrow to gatwick for your connecting flight or if you are in transist for longer hours > 5hrs I think. Call and email B.A to confirm abeg.
