Ask for well-baby package for self-pay patients.
Its usually about 50%....you should be paying $729

My People,

For anyone who had a VG delivery at HNWMC recently, how much did you pay Pediatrix for the pediatrician service? These dudes are quoting $1456. The lady I spoke to said they can give me a discount and I will then pay $1009.

How una take pay $675? Did you speak to anybody in particular?

Please I need ur responses

For breastfeeding and handling baby etc, which seat type will you advise I choose? Aisle or window? Pls advice


I sat on an aisle seat and it was quite easy to move around, reach for baby items in the overhead bin without having to bother the person next to me.

Do you have to sign any contract to be able to get this 50% discount? And is it to be paid before or after birth?

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Viola2017: 6:02pm On Jul 14, 2018
Hello gurus in the house,

I need your candid advice so as not to proceed in error, I had my baby late last month in California.
Hospital bill which is on the paper I signed the first day I went there is $3000 for days VD.
Doctors fee for VD/CS is $2000
I paid in full and got receipts from doctor and hospital same day.
Of the day I delivered, I took epidural ($500) which I paid for there and then and got my receipt.
I was discharged the following day after my VD, I got bills at home for radiography, pathology etc for less than $1000 collectively and I have paid via phone.
My issue now is that I met another lady that went through same hospital that got itemised bill for about $20000 but below the $20000, balance to pay is zero. they did not issue a zero balance cert. but insisted that she is not owing them a dime.
I am afraid as this may portend a problem during visa renewal. I plan to visit the hospitals' billing section on Monday to know if my bill is ready and if it appears like that of the lady, I will insisting on getting another bill of exactly what the contract paper states and not otherwise.
Please I write to seek advice from people that went through this lane in the past and also to gather enough ideas/advice before going there.

Thanks all for your time, I'll await your response(s) here

Hi all, In the spirit of giving back..
I arrived at Newark airport Ney jersey on the 3rd of July with emirates. It was a long flight but i was lucky to get a seat with enuf leg room.
Going tru immigration i was abit tensed because i got my visa when i was 3 months pregnant, i went with my family with the intention of family vacation. I wasnt asked if i was pregnant. Visa's were approved for DH and my 2 kids. I had all my hospital correspondences and also sent the change of intent mail.

CBP- Good morning, whats the purpose of your trip?
Me- Vacation and Childbirth
CBP- Do u have any correspondences with the doctor?
me- Yes please.. i hand it over to him
CBP- He looks through and starts whispering to the officer beside him on if he has confirmed this type of letter before.. he replies by sayinh No. He then asks me to come with him, Secondary examination tins
After sitting for about 20 minutes,

CBP- You got this visa in february and this is July, why didnt you inform them
Me- I wasnt asked and that was not my intention at the time, however I sent a mail to them informing them
CBP- Rili, what was the response?
Me- Its not a crime to give birth in the US, bla bla bla
CBP- How much fo you hav with u
Me- 8900 cash 4000 card.
CBP- Where do you work?
Me- In an Bank
CBP- You dont earn this much, you cant afford it
Me- I do.. nd my husband works too.
CBP- how much do yoi both earn monthly
ME- 4000 USD monthly
CBP- stamps me in for 6 months and gives me my passport..

OMO the tension.. but thank God I scaled through.. thanks to this thread and all the help.. will share birthing experience when the time comes...
Pardon the long post and typographical errors

Is your husband witnessing and staying a while after the birth of your child? If yes. Then you don't need it as he will be there when you do documentations for your child. Eg passport.

However, if your husband is not coming due to work, funds etc, he can NOTORIZE the DS3053 form at the us embassy for free. All he needs to do is to book an appointment around the time of your scheduled CS or
VBAC. For CS you know the date so it's fixed. For VBAC you might want to book a week after EDD or book like two appointments with the embassy a week apart.

See link to book notorization at the embassy below. Remember to select "Request notarial and other services not listed above." Fill in his details and you're good to go.

Link to form- https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds3053.PDF&ved=2ahUKEwjeofOOoKDcAhWqAsAKHYsEBcsQFjAAegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw3TluFl80TUMs0OJGHjG9w2

Link to appointment- https://ng.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/

Once he's done there is DHL at the car park he can send it for 18,500 Naira for you to the US or use UPS and send for 18,000 Naira.

Hope this helps
