Paying cash: what to do
- Ask the hospital whether it offers a self-pay maternity package for the delivery stay, and what it excludes, such as an epidural, a cesarean or newborn care.
- Apply for Medicaid as soon as you know you are pregnant; pregnancy coverage often has higher income limits than other adult coverage, and it can sometimes start retroactively.
- Ask both the clinician and the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate that lists the expected codes for delivery, anesthesia and newborn care.
