Cost for Anatomy Scan w/Insurance

For the moms-to-be with health insurance, did you get charged for your anatomy scan? I have a PPO with anthem blue cross yet I received a bill for $300 for an in network provider.

I spoke to all my other girlfriends and they told me they never paid more than $50 if they paid at all.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue. Not sure if they incorrectly billed me.
They’re asking that I come back once a month until my due date meaning I would’ve paid over $1,200+ for ultrasounds alone.

Thanks . Do happen to know if you have HMO or PPO? Not sure if that even matters but I guess maybe that’s normal then

I paid $372 with same insurance (PPO)

Oh wow, ! I guess I’m not alone then. I got concerned when all my friends told me they didn’t pay anything.

Did they asked you to do a scan every 4 weeks?

I pay $40 for every ultrasound appointment, including the anatomy scan - but I have Aetna

I have a different BCBS my ultrasounds are $40 each.

interesting… appreciate this additional color.

I’m not going to even act like I understand how our healthcare bill works. Seems like it’s all over the place.

I would call them and ask them to to explain the costs to you, as well as any upcoming costs that you can expect for the rest of your pregnancy and delivery! Every plan is different and someone who also has BCBS may pay nothing and other may pay a lot - but if you think they made a mistake, definitely check into that!

A lady at my doctors office went through my insurance and gave me a list of the remaining costs that I should be expecting - maybe the financial / insurance person at your doctors office can do the same :)

I have Blue Cross PPO and it was $200

I paid $162

really great advice. I’ve already left the billing department a voicemail and hope to hear back soon.

I hear offices can accidentally incorrectly bill you at times so worth the try

I will have one more ultrasound with a maternal fetal specialist (something was found in my anatomy scan). If everything goes well, I will just have routine appointments ( I don’t pay anything for it)

praying for nothing remarkable and that everything is positive.

I paid 200, also a ppo insurance

I. Have blue cross blue shield paid nothing

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
