my d&c costs
Posted on October 31, 2009
One of the things that I was wary of when we found out that I have to undergo D&C (dilation and curettage) is the hospital costs we would incur. It felt even more unfair that we would spend almost as much as we would if I was giving birth and yet we won’t get to bring home a healthy, bouncing baby.
Ramil and I agreed that I’ll have it done in a nearby hospital. I realized that not having any health plan like that of Blue Cross North Carolina will make things a little difficult for us. I got admitted in the hospital on a Sunday morning and was discharged on a Monday late afternoon. Our hospital costs amounted to around PhP 10,600 while the doctors’ fees amounted to around PhP 17,000. I’m still hoping my miscarriage would get approved for SSS maternity benefit otherwise it’s going to be a very lean Christmas for us.
