I'm in Canada so no medicaid here but we have to pay the hospital 195 plus the surgeon has a few too. As far as I know no insurance covers it because it hasn't been  deemed medically necesawdy

I'm having ds #2 in KC, MO and it is not $600! That's insane. My first was no where near that much 16 months ago, and I doubt it has gone up that much for when #2 comes in 8 wks!

Its only $100-$150 in Colorado depending on the hospital, I think. Doc gave me a disclaimer before the anatomy scan. It was covered with my last boy in 08, but thankfully this one's a girl!

My doctor wants 110 up front for her fee before the baby is born and the hospital will bill me anywhere from 200 to 400 for their fee. I live in arkansas and have arkansas medicaid but having my baby in missouri.

We have insurance through my husbands employer and we've had to pay for both of our sons circumcisions because its an elective procedure.

Im in Florida and from what I have heard from anyone who has had boys in my area say you have to pay out of pocket no matter what kind of insurance you have. Stupid how insurance can decide for us whats cosmetic or even an elective procedure.
