I pay 20% and my insurance pays 80%. I am 6 weeks pregnant an I will be having a c-section. I'm trying to get an average of how about how much I will end up paying for my total hospital bill.
I understand I can call my insurance company, talk to my doctor, and that every pregnancy will be different costs depending on complications. I'm just trying to get a ball park figure.

Ok, now that you have already given the disclaimer that every pregnancy is different and such....
Here were MY figures:
I live near Chicago Il.
My hospital bill was 10,000 and my OB/GYN was 3,000. I had a natural delvery, so your hospital bill will be about double.
Keep in mind, your insurance company will Negotiate a diff. smaller amount and you will only have to pay the 20% of that amount.
You also may be able to write that off on your taxes next year, so save all your bills and receipts!
Best wishes!
Oh one more thing, if the money straps you, most hospitals will arrange a payment plan with you, so don't stess too much about.
Your baby will be worth it!

Okay, I'm not having a hospital birth (unless I need an emergency c-section, which is a birth complication that my insurance would cover 100% after the deductible... my insurance doesn't cover normal pregnancy/birth costs though), but I'll answer anyway because other people might be interested...
$2600 for the midwife (all prenatal visits, the actual birth and the postnatal visits... all visits are done at my house, so it doesn't cost me any gas or anything)
$250 for the birth assistant (another midwife who I'll only see during the birth)
$100 for the ultrasound (which was totally optional, plus I dunno, $10 in gas to go to the ultrasound place)
$100 for the birthing kit (some supplies we have to buy for the actual birth)
$10 for prenatal vitamins (or something... don't remember the exact price)
= about $3070 total... includes *everything*. This is in the Dallas area, btw.

I even have BlueCrossBlueShield of Alabama, and that they coated it at 80% after my deductible replaced into paid for the two the 300 and sixty 5 days and the well-being facility ($500 for the 300 and sixty 5 days, and $200 for well-being facility). With my Ob-Gyn, he charged $2,4 hundred for vaginal and $2,900 for C-section. besides the undeniable fact that, I in user-friendly terms ended up paying him $780 after coverage took care of their 80%. After the well-being facility deductible, they paid for a hundred% of the room and such. Now, don't be shocked if different fees pop up. I had to pay for the anesthesiologist, the in-well-being facility pediatrician, the ear-nostril-throat ordinary practitioner who regarded my son over, the ordinary practitioner who circumcised my son, and for this actual mattress they had to convey to my homestead to help with my son's jaundice. coverage haggled them down on the fees for many of them yet did no longer pay the $200 for the mattress. My husband and that i finished up paying around $2,200 via the time each and all the fees stopped coming.
