Dr. Appt.
I have an appt next week with the doctor however I have no insurance as of right now. I will be 12 weeks by than and it would be my first appt. Should I call to reschedule? Will it be pricey with no insurance?

If you're waiting for Medicaid/ahcccs let them know... show any paper work you've gotten in the mail. They told me my appt would be $150 if my insurance didn't go through. I only had the case number & they just said if it ends up not getting approved then I'll have to pay. My first appt was yesterday & I'm 12 weeks today!

I would call and ask for pricing, sometimes they have discounts or special billing they can do, but usually that's if you go your whole pregnancy uninsured and don't qualify for Medicaid. If you're waiting on Medicaid, then you can save any bills and fax or mail to your states office that would deal with that and they should take care of it for you. If it's totally unaffordable and you're waiting for other insurance to kick in I would probably wait, but that depends on how long the wait would be.

Mine was around 480, however my insurance covers 100% of prenatal visits. So I paid nothing. Call to find out, as different offices charge different prices.

I went for the first appt- pap smear, Doppler for heart beat, basic info, etc. :)

UPDATE: I called and they said to still come in and bring in $100 down payment just in case...and that I can talk to a financial aid counselor YAY (:
