Dear House,
I got below delivery pkg from houston methodist hospital:
Case rate for hospital: 4068 $
Case rate for anesthesiologist: 1500$
Pathologist for baby and mother is 180$
All charges quoted are for the mother and baby for the facility fees related to delivery. These fees don't include the OB physician and pediatircian fees.
Obstetrical fees: 2500-3500$
Pediatrician fees: 500-700$

Is this package fine?!!!
I readi in previous pages who said it cost all the delovery about 5400$-6000 maximum!!
Could you please help me?

Biollar the questions aren't here nor there o! Just to establish relationship and verify details.
For egs something like 'this your daughter which number is she?'
I don't think they l ask her anything she won't know. U can make sure she knows ur hospital and accomodation and EDD. Other stuff will be questions personal to her

@ Biollar,

Sequel to LadyG's response, you should also let her know your company name and what you do there just in case she's asked. My colleague's mum also applied and she was asked ;

1) where she works (I'm an educationist in ***sch and I have worked there for 20yrs)
2) where her husband is and the number of kids she has
3) wher all her kids are too.
4) sponsor

She wasn't asked about her financial status as she already told the VO that her daughter was sponsoring.

please house quick response required.

For those that bought PTA from Standard Chartered and Fidelity, do you have to have an account with them?

I am ready to start my quarter 2 PTA hustle and I want to be focused, Stanbic is looking saturated...

Try hard while you're in naija to get this PTA oh, what my eyes are seeing ehn! Everyday I have to go out to get cash from the atm just to make sure I meet my monthly withdrawal limit on my naija cards.

Stanbic charges N280 for atm withdrawals.which is the best I've heard of so far (try to open an account with them, even if you don't get PTA they are more affordable for transactions here than the others)

On the Stanbic card you have a monthly limit of $750 (atm withdrawals) $1750 pos and atm withdrawals. So getting that PTA is priceless.

Gtb charged me at N299 to $1 yesterday..never again!

I just had a Mc. We are so devastated. All our plans, hopes, dreams, everything gone. Our only hope is on God. May God keep you all and your unborn babies safe until the time appointed. Amen

May God comfort your family and grant you double for your loss. I know how you feel. God has been my strength too.

Thanks a lot.

She's into her own business, will have to prep her well.

Thanks a lot once again.

biollar1:

Ok.

Thanks a lot.

In addition, my mum was asked how much she earned and what courses she lectured
She was also asked if she had other grand children, as LadyG said, personal questions basically but in all, it was a breezy experience
Your mum will be fine

Which of the Methodist did you get this quote from? There are several HM in different locations with different prices, HM dont have a uniform billing system. I know methodist in sugarland and Willowbrook dont charge this much for vd

biollar1:

Thanks a lot. This one is not for birthing, it's for vacation. I cannot even deal with these exchange rates that I am seeing and hearing upandan.

Stanbic is good, got PTA in January from them but their cards are extremely unreliable (in my experience).

Got PIN error message so many times shopping in the UK until the card was finally blocked...see embarrassment in the store...got to Naija and they said that ehn...it happens sometimes...I was like huhh.

GT is the best card but their rate is downright thiefery. I can't even begin to recount what GTB has used my eye to see...

Hi all,
To God be the glory, entered Dallas via Atlanta with Delta airline on mar 26 @ 34wks.Poe was a breeze, no major questions, no correspondence asked for. I'm here with hubby and 2kids. Hubby was just asked what he does and why we were there. He also asked how far along I was and then stamped us in. No agriculture or 2nd check point. Also anyone looking to get PTA, try standard chartered. I got 4K from them. Any moms in Dallas , pls pm , so we can keep in touch.

Congratulations. Am in dallas too.using methodist charlton.
We can connect

Congrats on your bundle of joy,you are one tough lady,i remember singing like a canary to whoever cared to listen that I was taking the Hebrew woman route and reading supernatural childbirth to further strengthen my faith,I was almost 7 cm when I screamed NURSE STACEY CALL THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST NOW!!!watching my labor videos I laugh @ myself,who was I kidding
@Guccioluwa,weeping may endure for the night,but joy would surely come in the morning,be strong dear your morning must come with your bundle of joy.e-hugs

Hi GucciOluwa, In all things we give thanks to God who loves us beyond our imagination. It is well with you. No matter what please Judge God Faithful cos He surely is. Eyes have not seen neither have ears heard of the wonderful things that awaits your family in the future. It will surely end in Praise

Why don't you try money order. The limit daily is $350 (same as POS) then the charge is only $1 using Stanbic Card

My Baby boy arrived early this morning. My heart is full of joy and thanksgiving to God!

Petdaughter:

Not sure how this works, please enlighten me. Are there options outside moneygram and western union cos even stanbic isn't really doing them again. Please anyone who knows how I can do this biko help a sister.

Go to a Walmart store and request for a money order. They'll ask you for the amount, take $349 (the remaining $1 is to cover the charge). You would then swipe ur card on their POS machine after which you would be issued the money order. It is sort of a blank cheque. You can then pay it into any American account (either yours' or someone you know). It would clear the next day and then you have $350 cash as against just $150 on the atm

Many thanks for the baby greetings!

Enizo:


Use a cradle

Sorry?

Congratulations!!!!

Update. . .

My girls interview is fast approaching. I'll break down the things we've done thus far and looking for opinions/inputs from the house, please. Thank you in advance.

Registered and got paid reference letter from El Paso.

Paid doctors fees, trying to pay hospital fees in advance but EL paso told me I'm gonna pay an extra $250 for that. Is it wise?

Budget as shown on spreadsheet is $9700 , account statement on her name has a closing balance of 6.5M. Should we add hubby's own which has a closing bal of about 2M?

Congrats Petdaughter!

To pay doctor's fees before visa? Mba O! Not wise.
$9,7000 at black market rate is like 3.1m so the. 6.5m is ok o. In my opinion, whether to add husband's statement depends on who she filled is sponsoring on the ds 160. If she filled it was a joint Thingie then yes let her add his own statement.
