Default How much should I budget for medical expenses if I am a BCBS member?

om...
I just found out I am pregnant. I am trying to prepare for the
expected costs associated with prenatal care, delivery and infant
check ups.

I belong to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Basic Plan.
Pessimistically, I assume that I will be stuck with some additional
fees or costs for non-covered expenses.

Does anyone have experience with this plan and remember how much they
ended up shelling out of pocket, give or take a few hundred?


Do you have a co-pay plan or a deductable? I'm on Co-pay PPO, and the only
costs are $15 for the initial OB appointment and $15 for each specialist
appointment or ultrasound. The delivery is supposed to be completely
covered. So far, the only non-covered expense was my pre-natal vitamins.
