My daughter being a military wife had to deliver my grand son there. She finally after 2 years got a itemized bill and they had the nerve to charge $200.00 for skin to skin after she delivered. No c-section, just completely vaginal delivery and she has to pay for the luxury of holding her child. What? Of course the insurance didn't pay this crazy charge. So now she has to pay out of pocket. Awesome hospital to charge new moms for holding their child..not to mentioned the way the nurses treated her because she wasn't delivering fast enough. Making comments like "when you are serious after delivering we will help you" Well after 6 hours of pushing, he was stuck folks. So the doctor got impatient and decided to pull him out breaking his clavicle and since he laid so long stuck in the birthing canal his little head is still misshapen 2 and half years later. Thank God no long-term injures. wow I am shocked. FYI I am a nurse this is not normally how things are done in competent facilities. You would think with CMS patient satifaction driven reimbursements this would be a thing of the past..
