I meant going to a public hospital as a private patient (I believe its called intermediatry care?)

I have to do this if i am too early, and am not covered for obstetrics by my insurance.

Maybe if you had obs insurance and went to a public hospital with your own dr you wouldn't have to pay bed costs, but i'm not sure about that.

If I went to a private hospital without insurance i would have to pay that $500 mentioned in my last post (the subdivided $1200 fee) plus bed costs which i believe are around $600-700 per night.

I haven;t really called medicare to find out about what i can claim if i need to deliever in a public hospital, all the above info was from the receptionist at my obs.. I recomend speaking to them as they normally know all about the fees, and then calling medicare and asking them.
