abisoyed:I had my baby in New York in 2016 on tourist visa but I informed them at the Port of entry that I was going to have my bat and they allowed me in. Before I traveled I inquired about cost and I was told that hospital bill among other bills for self pay is $6,000 dollars. Altogether I paid almost $15,000 for the delivery ( hospital, doctor's bill, lab, anesthesia and paediatric care). But I was surprised when the hospital gave me my itemized receipt, it showed a bill of $35,000. And since I paid $6,000. The balance of $25,000 was written off as self pay adjusted discount. When I asked they said that's how the template is in their system. Anyway, I gathered all my other receipts from Doctor, lab etc. Fast forward to January 2018 I tried to renew my Visa. This time I applied for medical visa. Because I am pregnant again. And the interview went this way VO- how long was you longest stay in the US ME- 3 months VO- what were you doing there ME- I had my baby Vo- how much did you pay ME- almost$15,000 Vo- may I have the receipts And I handed the receipts to him Vo- you were billed $35,000 for hospital and you only paid $6,000. Why did they give you such huge discount ME- I wouldn't know, I was asked if I was self pay or with insurance and I said self pay and they said their bill for self pay is $6,000 which I paid in full. It's possible the other bills are for those with insurance Vo- I'm sorry at this time you do not qualify for US Visa and handed me the white paper. I'm really upset. I have reapplied. Please help me. I want to know if there is anything I need to do before my upcoming interview to enhance my getting the visa. |

Quin17: Pls help me out. I have been traveling to the US. And at some point I was eligible for drop box. So I have been renewing my Visa by drop box. But I had my baby in the US last year on a running Visa. Since I did not inform US immigration when I was renewing my Visa that I was pregnant, I had to tell the immigration officers at entry point that I was going to give birth.And they allowed me to enter when they checked and saw that I had enough money to pay for the delivery. I paid all my bills and have my zero balance. But now I want to renew my visa for the first time after giving birth, I am pregnant again so I applied for medical visa by drop box and I was invited for a follow-up interview. I don't know what to expect at the follow up interview. |

Lanifat84:Goodmorning my dear NLers, Pls if you would remember, a few weeks ago I was asking for the difference between discount and financial assistance cos a hospital in NYC was going to give me financial aid due to the fact that I'm self pay ,And they told me it has nothing to do with Medicaid or insurance . But I've been scared of the aid. They have made me understand that most govt hospital's do this same financial assistance program. Someone recently proved to me that even the OAKBEND we use is also a govt hospital and grant this same aid to uninsured, self pay patients. Pls you people should help me look at this closely let me make a decision plsssss https://www.oakbendmedcenter.org/self-payfinancial-assistance/ |

Ramj: Good day my ever dependable Nlers, I've been more of a silent observer in this forum, asking one or two questions occasionally. I must say that nairaland gave me the requisite information and confidence I needed. I had a dropbox for visa renewal (B1,B2) last year which I didn't use, and got pregnant afterwards with the intention of birthing my baby in the US. I started making the hospital and doctor arrangements, finally settled for oakbend Dr F. Who gave me a letter of correspondence with NO prior payment. I also sent an email to the embassy notifying them of my change of intent, however only a generic mail was sent to me without any formal address to my issue. I sent them about 3reminder mails, no show. I shaa printed the mails I sent, correspondence with Doc, and all other documents including statements of account's of hubby and I. Fast forward to 17th Oct. I Boarded BA, mind you they didn't even know I was pregnant (and I was over 34weeks!!) so I just dey waka dey go, on getting to Heathrow airport, I was approached by an officer who said my name was nominated for random, extensive search. Hiaaaa!!!! I asked the lady why me of all people, does it look like I carry contraband? Hmmm, so about 20of us were selected, and I was the only black amongst them. After every every, They brought one gadget and started replace it on people''s tummies ,Hmmmm Na im I say I no go Gree this one oooo, I will not because of going to America harm my unborn child. So I raised alarm and told the woman that I'm preggy oooo. She quickly went to her computer and typed something.... Only God knows what. (but I felt she informed her American counterparts) now came back with a smaller gadget and said it won't affect baby. After everything, we boarded. I landed at JFK, I walked majestically to CBP officer, I didn't request any wheel chair cos I felt I was fit and didn't want to attract undue attention or sympathy to myself. I just prayed and told myself that :what ever will be will be. If they send me back, their loss. Me: Hi..... Smiles CBP:Hello,how are you Me: good, hands my passport over. CBP:how long are you gonna be here for? Me:8weeks and 4days. CBP:so precise!! You almost counted the hours too. Smiles Me:Smiles CBP:whats the purpose of your visit? Me :child birth and vacation CBP:do you have cash on you here? Me: yeah. Bleep dollars CBP:do you have a Doctor''s correspondence and have you made some payments? Me:I have correspondence, but my doctor prefers one to land in US first before payment. Started bringing out my documents... CBP : Nope, no worries, no need to see the documents.do have a are delivery. Pls place your fingers for thumb printing. Whewwww!!! that was a breeze, less than 3mins. Thank you Jesus!!! Went to agric section, I none of my items was seized!!!!! Baba God I thank you for bringing Nairaland my way oooooo 18 Likes |

sanddieo: pls something has been bothering me about payment of bills, pls help clarify, is there a difference between discount and financial assistance? Some hospitals will say they are giving "financial assistance " to self pay individuals. I'm really scared it may be a baptized form of Medicaid. Pls help (Modify) (Quote) (Report) (Share) |
