My wife and I disputed the charge related to the fifth month scan stating the cost of the scan was not something we were informed of and it was part of the prenatal care. The insurance company eventually waived it but unfortunately during our seventh month scan the doctor said the fundal height is low and prescribed a diagnostic scan. The measurement from the fundal height check were never shared and we were made to do a diagnostic scan and now expect to receive a bill. Is this all a big scam?

The bill from this diagnostic scan is going to be similar to what we disputed. Just starting to wonder if the doctor knew that we disputed the prior charge and are trying to recoup the charges? Really frustrated with the whole system.

You can do your own fundal measurement if you’re really thinking it isn’t off but I’m more inclined that your provider is being conservative with your babies health. Low growth could mean IUGR and trouble for baby. I had growth scans and weekly biophysical profiles when pregnant because I needed to monitor his health and none were covered under the maternity global fee, which I confirmed with UHC.

When we did it the measurements appeared to be reasonable. We did end up doing the scan but just wondering if the scan was issued to recoup the money?

Now you’re informed of the price of this scam, so what’s the problem?
