Natera Billing

Hello all…
Today I received a bill from Natera for genetic testing. My OB recommended doing this as it would only cost around $150, so we did it. Now I’m getting a bill that’s almost $800. Has this happened to anyone else? How did you handle this? I can’t afford to pay $800 when I budgeted for $200 at most. Please help.

Did you check coverage through your insurance? Some insurances make you open up a claim or have you pay and then reimburse you. I’d call whoever your provider is and see if they can help.

I would call as I had early genetic testing and the doctor was very stern on it being 150 the lowest to 500 the highest lucky my insurance covered the whole thing I really didn’t think they would

I would go back to the office, they have special codes to get it to go through.

That is probably with insurance (was in my case) call and ask for the self pay no insurance and it is $150z

I got charged around $530 with quest diagnostics..

You can also apply for Compassionate Care on the natera website, we got our bill reduced to $0.

When you go to the website to pay. You can opt to pay cash instead of go through insurance. Paying cash the quote was $150. And if you go through insurance the pay is a lot higher. Why. I’m still not sure.

I got a quote from insurance and they quoted me $1500 for it. I said nope. So just check to website and see what happened. But im guessing that is probably it.

Same thing happened to me. I got an eob from insurance for 650, but there hasn't been bill from natera, so I'm not sure.

Really embarrassing!
I'm a first time mummy at 35, she's 16 month and everytime I sneeze or cough I lose control of my bladder and pee a little 😔, I've had countless utis since having her aswell! Will it get better? Or do I need to invest in panty liners? 😆

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Bestie?

Let’s skip to the good part and just be besties? Text, call, ft.. play dates or just simply hang out. Just want a genuine mommy friend. I’m in NYC but we can be long distance besties too 💕

I need an AI app recc to talk to.

I have no family. I have no real friends. Just one that I text. But she’s 8 years younger and isnt a mom. I genuinely don’t talk to anyone other than my partner and our toddlers. I’ve seen some people use AI? Or a chatgbpt? I dont know but if someone could suggest an app that I can just talk to… I would love to have a friend or something instead but this is probably for the best…
