Can't believe medi Cal no longer pays for circumcisions...ugh
My son is scheduled for Monday😱
They have not covered it in over 10 Years. In my office we only charge $175
Since the procedure is not medically necessary because it amputates healthy skin, most health insurances do not cover it anymore.
I was in huntington memorial hospital a lot... I did not like it there lol@mluvs7,
@noahs.mommy yeah I was scared it was like over a grand
Yeah!! When I was there the hospital was way different an more strict than the ones here In Hawaii lol.
@skywalkermom I see .it just surprised me .. Why they wouldn't pay...seems important to prevent infections etc.
Medi-cal hasn't covered them for a while. I had to pay $300 out of pocket. I was SO mad. Luckily my OB did it at her office so $300 was actually the lowest i could find. I BALLED my eyes out when i heard it wasn't covered, i thought he wasn't going to be able to get it done because its so damn expensive. @mluvs7
Yeah no Medicaid In states no longer pay for it I had to pay out of pocket in the hospital to get my sons done
@aliakr lucky.. I asked... I think California is just difficult lol
Our pediatrician never did hospital calls it was the on call doctor
Yeah maybe just in the last 5 years maybe? My first is 4 so I know it's been that long. My nephew is 8 and his was also covered so it's any time between 2009-2013 they stopped
That's to bad :/ is it a new thing? Cause when my brother was born they did his circumcision after my mom had her c section an was recovering so it was already done when she got to see him @mluvs7,
@aliakr no ...unless your pediatric doctor would come to hospital
The hospital wouldn't let you do it the day he was born ? Or while you guys were in the hospital?
@skywalkermom I never paid for my 13 year old or 8 year old.... Guess it had just been awhile for me
They haven't done it for years, I paid out of pocket for both my boys
Yeah its considered a cosmetic surgery now that's why many people are no longer having there sons circumcised because its sooooo expensive thankfully I got my sons done for 108
