Vbacks are actually against hospital policies in a lot of counties. Doctors do not like to do them because of liability.
We had a baby in June, and it was just one night of hospital stay. I think the cost for the baby in the nursery, circ, and birth was about 600-700 with the 90% EPO. If you can plan ahead, don't forget to put aside this money in your flex medical account. That will help.
Also, some hospitals will waive some of your co-pay if you ask to do it in payments. They will offer you a break if you pay the amount at that time. Hope this helps.
