What it is
This code bundles the doctor's or midwife's care for a pregnancy with a vaginal birth: prenatal visits, the delivery, and the check-up afterwards.
What to expect
Care runs from the first prenatal visit through about six weeks after the birth.
What moves the bill
This is a package price for professional care. The hospital stay for the birth and the baby's care are billed separately.
General information, not medical advice.
Before you go
- Ask for an estimate. Hospitals must give uninsured and self-pay patients a written good-faith estimate before planned care.
- Check the network. Confirm that the hospital and the doctors are in your plan's network.
- Ask about financial help. Non-profit hospitals must have a financial assistance policy; many discount or forgive bills by income.
- Get an itemized bill. Compare it with the estimate and question anything you don't recognise.
