Ring around the Rosies...

Pocket full of Posies,
Ashes.
Ashes.
we all fall down.

the midwife is charging us the full amount of her delivery cost. $1400. no joke. I brought it up to her at my follow up appointment. Her reason for not lessening the charge (I'm not asking for a freebie here I just don't think I should be getting charged for a service that wasn't performed) was that she has to pay $400-$500 per delivery to cover her malpractice insurance- k...so let me just pay the malpractice cost so you get nothing. duh. I hate money. I feel like I'm spinning and spinning and about to fall down. but I have to pretend not to stress about it or my sweet husband gets all down on life and stresses even more. so shhhh. this little vent will be our little secret. night.

*Edit*
Yes my insurance covers her services-That's something I made sure of before hand...a lot of good that's doing me though... they are applying $850 to my deductible, then we have to cover 20% after that on the remaining balance.

Does your insurance help pay for the midwife??

Wait, so she can charge $1000 for showing up AFTER the baby is born? I'm in the wrong field of work...

So lame! The least she could do is offer a discount or credit on your bill. That is maddening. So is money - it makes everything so stressful!!
