Fees and Payments

Montgomery County and the participating hospitals help keep the costs for prenatal care as low as possible.  However, there is a $500 co-pay due to the hospital for the prenatal visits and services.  This co-pay is to be paid directly by the pregnant woman to the hospital providing her prenatal care and the future delivery of her baby.
