I have been a patient here for 18 years. They delivered my first two children. I'm currently pregnant, and was informed during my last check up that I would have to pay $2500 up front because I have a high deductible health insurance plan. I understand that this is the rate WNY OBGYN charges for labor and delivery services, but I also understand that they negotiate a much lower rate with my insurance company. ($900 for my first child) I refused to pay the higher rate up front before they billed my insurance and they dropped me as a patient after 18 years. This practice clearly doesn't put the patient first anymore.
