83. My twin sons spent 4 days in a neo-natal care in KC 7 months ago. -$36K
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 08:41 PM by newportdadde
The birth was fine, babies went home with my wife. Three days later we do our follow up checkup with the pediatrician. Both babies are running cold on their temps. We take them to one of the best neo-natal care centers in KC. They stayed their for 4 and 1/2 days. They should have left earlier but we arrived on a Thursday and the residents were too chicken-shit to let them go on the weekend...

The total bill? $36,000. Thats right 36 large. The best part I kept getting bills $16k each for both kids for months as insurance tried to work through it all. You have no idea how twins complicates this stuff, they think they are getting charged twice for one kid.

One twin had facial bruising because he came second and was born quickly. I got a letter for him to sign from my insurance wanting to know if I was going to sue someone or if it was a workers come injury. After explaining to them I didn't want to sue my wife's vagina they paid it.

Its the bullshit admin paper pushing from one organization to another thats the cause of a lot of this.
