Congrats on the new baby! Was this for a typical delivery? Surprised to see the costs so much higher than the average childbirth cost in NJ

Thanks! yes normal delivery, thankfully no surgery. After insurance, it's going to be about $10k total for mother and baby. That may be average, but still seems crazy they'd send a bill with absolutely no details, just Nursery $9,200, amazing even number, no break down, nothing. I guess we all just need to get used to asking for itemized bill. We don't yet have bill for mother but from what we can see online it's similarly cryptic and even.

Since you went through insurance, you may get better details through your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) through your insurance provider. They usually have pretty good breakdowns of what was billed (date, units, etc...) and what the coverage and remainder is.
