Good afternoon,
This is both a complaint and a warning
Had baby @ Henricos richmond been calling financial counsellor everyday for the past 21 days and sent 14 emails ,to help me with a letter saying i dint use medicaid or insurance no responce left messages and contact of my sil in usa no reply.

Called sheridan they promised to send a letter

Called NAPA they said they cannot help

Called the lab they use they said they cannot help

Its really scary i cant make any contact with henricos ve called fithugh he sent his and fc number who is incommunicado called hospital same thing.

If you can honestly avoid henricos i think you should the hospital i had baby no 1 responded with all i need in 24 hrs now am stuck.

How do i defend my bill......

You may not agree but avoid them if you can

Pls if there is any mother in virginia that has an appointment with fitzhugh and can help me stop by the financial counsellor i will be grateful.

Thank you

now you understand my plight. that letter of indebtedness you should be collected on the day of discharge. They sent my itemized bill after a loooooooong while. keep calling

drafrican:
This divine grace is the thing who do we know has renewed with a bill of less than 10k only saw one lady ejiro on d grp she applied for holiday was not preggie and they gave her.

are you still in Virginia? i ll suggest meeting the financial counsellor in person and trash things out...the itemized bills should have the actual amounts paid without discount since the letter of indebtedness doesnt cover anymore.. but no they insist it cant be done...I don call tire...eventually 1 day it will be sorted out.

hello house. Please can someone direct me to the page with info on how to check SSN compromise. tnx

So you can try to change it on your next visit, dont know the rule that will apply in the city you delivered.

All the best.[/quote]hws Omodadi2. hvnt read from her.

DeeandGLady:
Hello All,
I feel a lot better now to talk about it so others can learn.

Make sure you have your Nigeria address on your child/Children’s birth certificates.

Sorry for the long post so you see that if I have to type the whole transcript part 1 and 2 some people will beat me here

can the address be changed and how..

You should reapply, same 6th Sept a pregnant friend got her visa in Abuja

gdevening all. i need clarification regarding gtbank visa fee. i understand it has a validity of 1 yr. I paid in december 2017, does this mean i have to appear for interview before that date or schedule the interview and appear later say next year.

cutelass:
Specifically request for 'Letter of non-indebtedness'

Wow! Things are not thesame anymore.. i jst read upto date. .How far Omodadi2? I didnt catch her in the update. It is well.
Does the letter cover the discounts given without any explanation cos the itemized bill states otherwise.

Mothers... ok. Message me

OmoBendel24:
Yes you can, but not advisable, you may run into last minute pressure, if not confusion....

I see, thanks

OmoBendel24:
Create and fill another form and update the DS160 number on your profile with the new one.

Does this mean one can schedule an appointment before submitting the ds 160 form provided you have the correct ds 160 number

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.

This is exactly what im trying to avoid. The itemized bill i was sent is same as yours.How do i explain that "adjustment"

chibertha:
Check the post of @anunimorigba she posted what it looks like

It was her post that made me request for mine..which states "this is not a bill and doew not reflect what you are being asked to pay. This is an itemization of hospital servroices which hospitals are required to provide upon request and includes amounts from the hospital master list of charges which every hospital is required to maintain"

My point is the amount in this itemised bill is not the discounted amount I paid and I have a zero balance

chibertha:
Call the hospital patients account services.

I see alot has changed concerning renewal. I need some clarifications. Is the itemized bill same as receipt? Cause from what i have it doesnt reflect what i paid just original price of things i used and their "adjustment"

Mission accomplished!

I need 1 in richmond virginia. ANy1? Let me know

temyb:
My husband went to the arrival part of MM1 and spoke with an immigration officer there. Who helped in the process,it's actually a 2 way process. First u have to scan your baby's passport to them and then they would send a letter to you from Nigeria immigration stating your baby's passport number and that he's a u.s citizen but would get his visa on arrival here in Nigeria. You can print the letter there in the u.s
Emirate would ask for the letter and the passport number on the letter must tally with your baby passport. U can email me temy4u@hotmail.com
When u arrive they would process the VOA for u for $200

Thnk God fr this NL school oo. Its jst saving mamas n los

[quote author=dere5 post=50003007]What form are you talking about, is it the one they give you at dhl when you go to drop the passport?

@nnystc
I have called them again today. Told them I want to book my dotas ticket for x date to and x date fro. Dey say OK. Wat is my own reservation number to add baby. Wen I giv dem dey start with d one way story. BT if return its d low amount. But the rule says they must attach baby to an adult and DAT I av flown lag to Houston of my ticket. So its either I pay 467 or I buy my return ticket at d 8xx and get the low amount.
Don't they ask for ur confirmation number to add baby?

Same no I can't add baby at DAT price story.

Please did u just book your ticket afresh or dats d same ticket u came with.
I av been on this since I gave birth in sept. Y are they insisting I pay that high.

Which airline?

Mcseun:

XX01:
I have an urgent question. For those that used BA, will they accept your fit to fly if it's more than 48hrs? My hospital wants to mess me up.

Of course as long as its nt more than a week. Mine was almost 72hrs

One over sabi CBPO neighbor: ugghh, never trust these Nigerians, they all sound nice n calm but will go and apply for Medicaid sooner than later!
Me: Shuo. See dis chic.
I was stamped till April 2017.
Conclusion. Be prayerful & stay calm. I never panicked, I knew God was on my side and I was genuine & well prepared. God showed Himself true, even without carrying food[/quote]My dear, some female cbps are jst it. Cos mayb they hv 1st hand idea abt childbirth. Thnk God u were prepared. Like u said na God. But u for carry food nothing would hv happened. Abt BA n d fit to fly I think de jst see d hormones on your face cos I was forming strong n able d guy still asked for it... mana nne 17k? God bless this our sacrifices oo. AMEN
