As an FYI-
the bills came in for my wife and twins.
Wife was in hospital on bedrest for 8 weeks prior to giving birth. The total bill for my wife was a BARGAIN at 35k.
DS1 was born at 28 weeks (and 4 days) gestational age and discharged from same hospital at 37 weeks gestational age. His bill came to about 125k.
DS2 was born at 28 weeks (and 4 days) gestational age. He spent about 4 weeks in that hospital (total bill was 75k), then transferred to another hospital because of complications. He was discharged at 41 weeks gestational age and the stay at hospital 2 was billed to the insurance at 250k.
475k for kids
35k for wife.
Each paid a $100 admittance charge and insurance picked up the rest. $400 total out of pocket.
I am glad I had insurance because this one 4 month period could have derailed all financial goals for the rest of my life.
