You need to add the doctor fee, labs pre and post birth for Mom and baby, prescriptions for both, pediatrician who usually visits baby in the hospital, and good luck finding an anesthesiologist who’s in network. Plus there is the fee for someone with insurance vs the charges for those without, which can be ten times the with insurance amount.

I would hope that the facilities covered by the insurance would be able to handle appropriately any health conditions for these conditions and would have approved referrals for any special circumstances. The only point not made in the article was making the choice based only on the cost being low, as that choice results in very poor coverage. The cost should be affordable for the employees based on their salaries.
