Tell your friend to seriously negotiate for a discount and if at the end she still can't pay everything once,she should also negotiate a payment plan. Thanks a lot |

Chinemeze17: You can print it from Qatar expectant mothers page when you are done filling it, you can scan clear copies and email to them or if you are in lagos you can take hard copies to their office and submit.
thanks a lot, much appreciated |

Chijiuche:
check special service section on their website...Always print it closer to when you are leaving as it is always numbered. You have to summit it at any of their offices not earlier than one week and not later than 48 hours before your departure. Ensure you get email approval before the departure date. Their 36th week is 35 weeks + any additional day and they will not carry you ( even if it is one day), so try and calculate it well. They can be very mean
thanks a lot, God bless your kindness |

Ayotundesh: So guys arrived Atlanta a little over 2 weeks ago.
I've been busy with paper work & registrations...
All the contracts & monies I was expecting before this time did not pull through...so I didn't start off with money like you guys.
Just been depending of The Grace of God and everything is working out Good. I dont expect less from serving A Great God, opening doors here and there.
So still quite busy, it took quite some time for me to catch up...
Though my original plan was to use a birth centre. But I would be using a health centre/hospital.
Still have so much to do before I can say I'm relaxing waiting for baby...

SuperDad: Hi Ayob3. As someone stated earlier, it depends on the doctor (and also the hospital the doctor has delivery privileges in...as some doctors accept but sometimes clearly state that their hospitals don't.) Since your doctor has stated they accept, i'd advice the results are at least the typed kind...as results from most general hospitals in Nigeria (though valid here) are hand-written, which is unacceptable in many places around the world.
Thank you SuperDad 1 Like |

Thanks for your response, I really do appreciate. Doc in the US said he accept all test done from Nigeria. Just wanted to be sure if i can tender the one from general hospital. |

Ayokunle07: Hello house.
I'm grateful for the gift of this forum. I have consulted nairaland at almost every point of my adult life since 2007 - from the time I came fresh out of school, then NYSC, job, relationship, visa interview, and now birthing in the US. In the course of this journey, I have made interesting friends from here, and received countless invaluable contributions from guys here.
So here is the full account of the missionary journey of my DW.
She flew Qatar Airways at 34w4d to Atlanta in July. The journey was long. The layover was about 9 hours and Qatar pulled an unfortunately ugly card. We had arranged their complimentary hotel from Lagos (they call it STPC) and on the morning of the flight, we got the printed voucher. She got to Qatar and she was told her the airport hotel was full. They gave her a city hotel but Qatar Immigrations would not allow her in. It was later I learnt that Qatar immigrations won't allow entry to people flying for medical purposes/pregnancy.
Fast forward to Atlanta airport, no fireworks. The CBP asked her what she was there for and she told them to have her baby. Dazol! The man then told her to always carry her receipts. Not one document asked or presented.
Hospital: Emory Midtown (Dr Tates)
I'll skip the details that most of us know but I believe some other info here may help mamas contemplating Atlanta and Emory.
We paid for CS and epidural, about $6,525 and Dr Tate's $1,500. On the first appointment, he recommended a test that cost about $100 or so at another location due to the peculiarity of her pregnancy. Dr Tate said she'd need to be induced. She was induced at Emory on Saturday afternoon. All this time I was afraid of the bills that would be slammed at us as we seem to have clearly gone out of the provisions of the package by the induction - but DW's health was paramount to me. But, God, being so good, she pushed without epidural on Sunday afternoon and was discharged on Wednesday. That's about 4 days in the hospital.
Then the big bills came. About 3 weeks later, the adjusted zero balance statement came in. To cut it short, our prepaid money covered for the induction and the 4 days stay in the hospital (that was amazing). Since it was VD, we got a refund of the exact difference. Epidural refund was to come a month after the delivery. Because we paid with a USD card (GTB), refund was easy and straight. We didn't open any account in America. Emory's in-house paed, Child Healthcare of Atlanta, CHOA charged five hundred plus for 'professional' fees the first time with a discount of 40% if payment is made 30 days after receipt of the bill. About a month and half later, the same CHOA sent another bill of 283 for the '2nd physician'. DW argued and shouted and told them she cannot pay after already getting a zero balance from the same CHOA. They offered the 40% discount but DW asked for a 70% discount! They accepted and we paid. We also engaged an external paed after delivery, Kidcare,..cost $140 on first visit, and $90 for the second visit.
SSN came in by mail about a week after delivery. DW waited for me to arrive before we picked up the BC and the other documentation (that was about 1 month after delivery). We got the Nigerian passport after 3 visits to the Consulate at Roswell. $77 fee, $30 for the business centre that we paid through, and $65 for money order to expedite it. If you are in Atlanta, you can PM me to give you tips because expediting is not really an option for all. You must have proof that you are travelling in a few days time. Got the passport one week after. US passport was expedited ($165 I think, not sure now) and collected same day, in fact in 3 hours sef. Infant ticket was bought over the phone at $150 or so.
Special thanks to God and all the contributors on this forum especially cfcchick, Eilenora, reniduke. I am available to assist expectant Emory mamas. God bless you all.
congrats to you and DW.. God bless your precious LO. Please would like to ask some questions regarding to Emory, kindly send me a mail setportablebamie@yahoo.com 2 Likes |

nefertitiram:
For number 1. You got it slightly wrong. Your US visa affixed to your passport suffices as a second means of Id. The county person wanted to sell me the sour grapes of getting a second means of id till I showed him his own requirement list where a valid us visa suffices. So that person just stressed your wifey for nothing. Lolz
Modified: in fact only 1 means of id suffices in the instances below and foreign passport is allowed as the only means!
