I was shocked that you paid $8,609 for a C-Section. My wife just gave birth via C-Section and the total bill was approximately $46,000. However since I have health insurance, I only paid $1,000 out of pocket, and the rest was covered by insurance.

The American Health system is truly a strange one!

My sister had a 2 year visitor visa and used it once and stayed for 9 weeks. She accompanied my elder sister who went to deliver a baby on a visitor visa too. Now, her visa has expired and she tried renewing through drop box but was asked to go schedule an interview. Any ideas why and what plausible questions she could be asked? Plausible answers to the questions will also be appreciated.
Thanks.

toy002, I ported to Chicago. In California, I got one good deal then o...if I put the hospital name here now, they will take down my post

mumdearest:


you can process your visa by yourself on turkish airline website and you can make payment with your nigerian card. But for american passport holder, you make payment at the airport.

ozycy:

from what they wrote, you have to apply and pay before the 7th month to qualify. let people that used them come and help on how they were able to tackle that.

House please your candid advice would be appreciated. my wife was denied visa 3 times in 2016 and we decided to have our baby in Nigeria while preparing that our second born will be in the us. we tot we should go as a family for a visit visa then we go for visiting while she go later to give birth but the problem now is , my colleague said we should not go as a family because of Canada issues that we would be denied they may think we want to run away instead we should process Canadian immigration stuff. but am thinking of applying alone for visiting visa while she would apply for child birth along with our daughter. Gurus in the house, kindly advice what should we do? my wife is 5weeks gone

I am just as amazed. Sometimes I feel I must be living on a strange planet when I hear these costs.

I also applied for emergency appointment with the acceptance letter from the hospital/doctor in US and my hospital in Nigeria and got a date within 24hours.

Lucky you, having to pay only $1000 out of pocket, I wish I had insurance cos I heard the monthly fee is next to nothing for residents in the US but since i don’t have US insurance, I need to do the needful and pay the bill that was quoted to me by the service providers. If we continue to do the right thing as Nigerians, the outside world will begin to see that not every Nigerian is a fraudster. Little drops make the mighty ocean. Something I noticed in the US is that, a lot of people are in debt, I love that their insurance system works efficiently for the insured. It’s actually easier to pay $1000 out of pocket, [/b]not many people in the US can pay $8600 out of pocket[b].

Lordcrixus:


That is the reason why self paying patients have lower bills than patients with insurance because the insurance company makes a whole lot of money from premiums paid by the insured and the hospitals are aware of this and double or triple the charges.
During my three months industrial attachment in a hospital laboratory in my undergraduate days, the hospital charges times two or more in some cases from company patients(those been paid for by their place of work) than normal private individuals. This is because the management know company can pay more than individual paying out of pocket and it may take up to a month or more to get the bills paid by the company, but individual will pay instantly. This same applies here to insured patient and patient paying out of pocket, so been charged lower than insured patient is nothing out of the ordinary like some people will want to project.

house pls advice a brother, my wife is 5wks gone and she was denied 3 times in 2016, we want to apply together. while she applies on B2, me and our daughter will apply on b1/b2. am the one to sponsor the trip and I have 10m in Treasury bills and try to fund my account with 2m before we go to the embassy. can we go together? Will TB prove be OK as part of the statement?

vitrendy4eva:
From personal experience, TB are not really valued by VOs. They prefer the easily accessible cash in your statement. And 2m seems to be quite small for this sort of trip..how much is your budget sheet value in total?

Gtbank Naira Master cards work on POS with provisions to insert but not by swiping. Though, I was surprised on two occasions when the swiping worked on the southwestern airline POS while paying for excess luggage at Dallas Lovefield Airport on our way to El Paso TX
