akelvin: I got some so all depending on ur budget n preferences.but nice apartments mostly in chandelier based on advise of pple around on d areas n safe neighborhood.dnt knw if I can list all but will list d ones I can so u check out on d internet n we went there so 'twas cool.there is d chandler meadows apartment with furnished one bed for $1020 all inclusive,biscaynebay chandelier for$1070.83 dats plus utilities,Alante at d island for $901 all inclusive but not furnished but d furnished one goes for 1500 but we were advised to pick a non furnished one n rent d furnitures dat way is cheaper,we got a furniture company dat furnishes d bedroom,dinning, sitting room for $179 so is cheaper than taking a furnished apartment d name of d rental company is Cort u can check them out.note all I listed r one bedroom.i checked a lot anyone I remember again will put it up.there is one I saw in Gilbert really really nice goes for $959 but when every was added it went up to1159 but really cool d name is highland groves at Morrison ranch u can check it out.but note all these I listed d kitchens r fully equipped n laundry facilities also in each apartment.
U can also check AZ furnished apartments.com so u can select from four different areas if u want a furnished apartment.but NOTE d prices may differ if u r renting a short stay like three months they usually add premium charges added.thats y d ones I went to dat I gave u I was saying all inclusive so this AZ u can call to confirm n tell them ur duration.
But u can get cheaper apartments for $750-800 for a one bed not furnished then rent ur furnitures for $179 I think dat is nt bad.

I can hug u right now for this info. Now if only Francesca will be available to take my calls.

Getting Francesca is so difficult. I have called more than 8 times and got voicemail all through.

Phema: Are you sure about that? Someone with febuary 2015 appointment called Francesca and was told the old package applies to her since she made the appointment before the review.

Call and ask to speak with Francesca.

Thanks Phema. Where would you be staying in Phx? Imagine I just edited my ds-160 today and booked my interview.

Pricelessamzy: Dear all,
Please how do i go about sending a mail to the US Embassy informing them of my intention to birth in the US. I didn't lie during my interview because i wasn't pregnant as at the time of interview. What information am i to provide in the mail and the email address to send it to. Also does anyone know how much it would cost to birth in Indianapolis. Also the MIHS package is it only in Phoneix? Would appreciate response.

Thanks

Just so a google search on this thread for pevious responses. You can also mail the consulate.

lisamarris: hi hollabeesy2014. thanks for your info. Do you have any phone numbers i could call in respect of the details you provided?Also, to ensure that there are no hidden charges anywhere.lo. Thank you very much.

Its best u mail Dr Hyungh's office. Obgynh@yahoo.com. they would respond in a day or two.

MerryMom: Phoenix mamas, all these gifts you are sharing, diaris God o!

You no dey go phoenix? Thought you made the December cut off date.

bloggerina: Hello Raii,

I've never heard of that o. I didn't pay anything like that. All I paid Dr Huynh was $2k for my remaining antenatal care, delivery & 6-week postnatal check up.
Did you tell them you were calling from naija? Maybe they thought you were a US resident. Please call them back to clarify. I doubt that you are meant to pay for initial visit.

Cheers

Thanks. I would send them an email asap.

Bloggerina, I just got the costs breakdown from Dr Hyungh and there is cost of $165 for initial visit. Did you pay this?

Tvegas: Did francesca tell you that Tvegas,Lizcom,Merrymom and other border officers spent the whole day in phoenix trying to get amnesty for you guys?.Ordinary thanks you cant even say, you con they make mouth Kontunu!!!.Congrats, make you take this shaky body, its time to start teaching little phema Sekem steps .

Uncle Tvegas, abeg I go still send you to Francesca o. Make she mercy for us wey name don dey deir system before the review.

Phema: Lol. Come join us in Phx!

My appointment is for jan and with the new rate would rather opt for Houston.

TeamclicksAir: 20th Nov too January 31st

Kai Phema has left me o. Na only me go waka go Houston.

bloggerina: Hello,
Email correspondence is a simple matter. Just send an email to obgynh@yahoo.com introducung yourself and asking if dr huynh can accept you as a patient etc. They'll respond with a breakdown of prices and ask you to send your medical records. Finally they book your appointment on an agreed date. That entire mail chain is your email correspondence. Just print it out.

Fax or scan ur medical records to them. Just scan it to your pc, attach to that your mail chain and send to them. You will need EVERYTHING in your antenatal file. Your hospital in naija shld be able to send you a soft copy and also write you a medical report.

Dr Huynh's office will send you a list of all the tests they want you to do. Full blood count (CBC complete, ultrasound scan, hepatitis b (HBSAG), hiv, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis, rubella, papsmear, urinalysis, blood group. Genotype (Haemoglobin), Glucose Tolerance Test (to rule out gestational diabetes) etc. Most of them are part of your routine antenatal care so you should have done them already. Otherwise, go ahead and do the test here then scan your resylts to them. If you are unable to get some done(as I suspect) tell dem you will do the remaining in america when you come. Dr Huynh is very thorough. She doesn't compromise on all those tests because she needs to accurately diagnose any hidden issues which they tend to overlook in naija. She actually studies ur medical report and somehow manages to fish out any potential complications, if u wanna use her as ur doctor, help yaself and just do as she says. Do as many tests as you can in naija and complete d rest when u get to her office at most. If you go to any mushoom lab/hospital here, she will reject most of your naija test results and make u re-do dem in america which wld eventually cost you more.


Cheers

Thanks so much girl. I emailed her office yesterday evening. So I'd wait for response.

bloggerina: Hello, first I just want to say that this is a wonderful thread, lots of useful info. Its a pity I found out about this thread AFTER I had my baby in the US earlier this year. lol
Anyways, I just want to provide helpful info for the person who asked about another doctor in West Houston Medical Centre. I had my Son there in Feb this year, my doctor was Dr Jeanie Huynh. Fantastic doctor! A friend's sis-in-law had used her before so I went to her and I must say, i'm glad I did. She also did my son's circumcision and it was fantastic. I had emailed the doc's office and also faxed my medical report in advance. They didnt accept payment in advance anyway, had to pay everyth when I got there. So here's what I spent a few months ago:

Dr Huynh's Fee - $2,000
Additional OBtests @ Doc's office - $270 (please do as many of the tests as you can do in Naija)
Circumcision - $255
Hospital Fee - $4,000 (I ended up having a C-Section coz I developed PIH when I arrived in the US)
Epidural - $1,200
Paediatrician - $93 (Dr Huynh's office suggested a paediatrician to me that also gives discount to Dr Huynh's patients so this was quite cheap. Otherwise I would have spent $800 if I had used WHMC's Paed).

. I understand that having a baby in the US can be daunting, esp if you havent done it before so it pays to have people assitst with first-hand info, questions, clarifications etc. Am available to help sha.
I wish everyone a success in this quest and all the blessings of parenthood!!! May our investments in our children's future by having them in the US be fruitful in Jesus Name!

Blogerina few questions abeg:

1. Does the doc give email correspondence
2. What records exactly did you fax. Did you go to the hospital and ask for your file?
3. What tests did you do?

Thanks you.

bloggerina: Sister, why are you considering memorial herman in houston? Are you a rich politician? The hosp facility is new & thus very pricey. Nice ambience, service etc but its not for the masses my dear. Vaginal delivery alone is 7k plus. If you are on a budget kindly respect yasef and consider several other houston options as mentioned on this thread.

Cheers

Lollll. Blogerina. Na waka for hospital carry me tgere o. Thanks for the info.

dserious: Hello to all my MIHS heartbrokens.........kpele nu, its not so bad

Just to confirm wat naijaphoenixmum said abt the new prices...yes, its 5,400 for normal and 6,500 for CS

The Chief Financial counselor confirmed to us that all those with Financial appt from October to December would be honored the old price. Infact I asked her 3times just to confirm. She showed me the list of bookings and said yes, old price applies to all these pple.

So wat i would advise is if you already have an appt, call her to confirm again if your name is on her list; and try to beg her to send u an email confirming you would pay the old price wen u arrive. Be polite, and explain to her that u dont want to come all the way and be faced with a bill u dint plan for. Her name is Francesca Hernandez and her number is 602 344 5011.

All d best

I want to cryyyyy. My appointment is for January. It is not fair ooooo

ebonyademi: @RAIL, PLEASE CAN U GIVE ME EMAIL ADDY FOR dr Jeanne Hyungh of WhMC.

Obgynh@yahoo.com

I called dr Jeanne Hyungh of WhMC and her fees is $2k minus tests and ultra sounds but you have to send your ante natal records before she would consider taking you on as a patient. WHMC hospital fees is $2.5k, epidural is $1.2k. I didnt ask for paediatric costs.

I believe she is the cheapest because I called other docs and the least I got was $2.8k

[quote author=MadameU][/quote]Checking lag-houston and lag-phoenix/tucson. Cost benefit analysis at work.

MadameU: Can u imagine the yeye pple ! I called them last week o dey ask for the closest to MIHS for dec 7th to march 7th the lady gave me a bill of 3k something! Naim I bail first of all. If u ask me sha o its not the best deal but not the worse either u can consider taking it if ure buoyant enuff.

I got the same quote when I called bout two weeks ago.

Phema: Called them and their Hospital bill alone is $2,300. Didn't bother going further since I got something cheaper in same Tucson.

Phema are you set on Arizona?

[quote author=Freshface]Welldone Phema. This is a good option to MIHS just incase I get there n d new rate applies to me. Thx[/quote

Good one Phema. Now m swinging back and forth.

hollabeesy2014: dont av much feedback from those that have used her. i av an appointment from her already. planning towards end of November. pls has anyone in the house used dr huynh? What's her service ike?

someone commented a few threads back that she was okay with her.

hollabeesy2014: No one seems to be talking about WHMC. Hosp bill is 2500 n dr hunyh charges 2k. All test is approximately 500. D place seems to b a second option for me.... After mihs don break my back.

This is looking nice. Yimu MIHS. Lemme go look up the doc's no.

Thanks Kykes on memorial herman info.

Anybody got info on memorial hermann in houston.

Tvegas: Morning guys, just to state that there is no war between the hospitals o. We are just trying to make light of a disappointing review and to encourage our brethren. God knows I was also waiting for that review. GEJ must go for this sha, na so he take cancel our fuel subsidy.

NB: To serious matters,information reaching us says a massive crowd led by Phema, Raii,MadameU,and Toitoi have been trying to cross our border since 5am this morning. We need charitable citizens of the border to help with crowd control and passport inspection.
@Phema, there is no lapping please join the queue. Thanks as you comply.

Tvegas as much as I'm annoyed. Your post just cracked me up. Okay, MIHS mamas we need to restrategise. Based on previous posts and my googling, sights are on methodist sugarland, oakbend and recently st Joseph's.

Phema: Now, I feel like killing you

Honestly. Yimu all you border people. I would still apply for visa using miHs but I am so porting once I land. Hope that is allowed?

naijamumcarephx: Hello everyone, I came by MIH today. I was told that the new MIH rates are $5400 for normal delivery and $6500 for CS. They added an additional visit for the baby to the Maternity Package.
The lady said that they are honoring old rates for people who have already booked their first appointments till December.
She said that people can now book appointments at the new rate.
They will have information on their website soon.
Hope this helps people trying to make a decision about MIH.

Mihs o. Ah ah diaris God o. $5400 ke. El paso here I come.
