Baby delivery for non insured people

[majid_kam]

Hi All,

I am an international student at Montreal. My wife is pregnant and we do not have insurance that covers the pregnancy follow-up and the baby delivery. We called many doctors and they asked us for 4000 CAD in front excluding the hospital fees which could reach 8000 CAD.

Can anyone suggest me what to do in my situation?

$8,000-$12,000 is not unheard of for a simple, uncomplicated pregnancy. If there are any complications, you could be looking at the hundreds of thousands of dollars for a delivery. At least one couple incurred charges of nearly a million dollars.

If you have no insurance, you can either attempt to work out a payment plan (which would be hundreds of dollars a month, forever), find insurance, or return home to deliver the baby, where presumably it may be cheaper.
