Ok, I'm completely stressing out about this!!! I recently had a miscarriage. My OBGYN sent me to the hospital to have all the bloodwork done (Prenatal Panel: CBC, Hepatitis, ect.) I also had to get a shot of Rhogam because I'm RH-negative. TriCare is my insurance (for military families) and I had authorization to see this OBGYN for prenatal care, and she was the one that sent me to the hospital for these tests. I recently saw the bill from TriCare showing that the hospital charged them $440 for these blood tests, and TriCare only paid $28!!! I have a feeling that the hospital is going to bill me for the rest! If I end up paying the rest, that's 94% of the bill. Why wouldn't the insurance pay at least 50%?? What's the point of having insurance. These blood tests are standard when a woman is pregnant, it's not like the doctor had me do something out of the ordinary. Does anyone have TriCare and has this happened to you? I'm almost terrified to get pregnant again in fear that they won't cover me!
