Is there an agency involved?

I know, at least when I placed in 1997, anesthesia was “elective” for a vaginal delivery and if I elected to have it during childbirth, Medicaid would NOT pay for it. I did, however, elect to have it…and the bill was sent to the agency, and was paid by the adoptive parents.

My daughters parents agreed to pay all medical bills associated with my pregnancy and delivery, and they made it clear (while present in the room during delivery) that they were perfectly fine with footing the bill in order for me to be comfortable.

In the end, the taxpayers footed most of medical expenses, I’m not sure how much the anesthesia was, but it was a fraction, of what, I’m sure, Medicaid paid for the birth of my daughter.
