So they're basing their coverage on the lowest possible cost, even though a majority of women still use hospitals.
If the bill was $22,000, there may have been complications, which would possibly have required a switch to the hospital.
I just wonder if anyone told this woman up front "we're only going to cover $3000 because we're assuming that you'll use a midwife."
