I read on some other forum that you must be very vigilant to check out the medical bills.
Mommies whose pregnancies+deliveries were covered by insurance co. still requested itemized bills from the hospitals. Then they told what ridiculous amounts hospitals billed their insurances.
E.g. a lady who had a C-section was billed for forsceps (?spelling?). Or another mom who had a natural delivery and didn't have any drugs put in her body was charged for IV, epidural. Anyway, I was reading and couldn't believe it how dishonest hospitals can be. No wonder health insurance is increasing by leaps and bounds .

So, my point was that request itemized bills and peruse them
