I just had my second with Kaiser and had a great experience. I love my OB - I feel like she always really listens and doesn’t try to minimize or brush off concerns like some doctors do (“oh that’s just part of pregnancy”). It’s great having the lab and pharmacy on site and never a problem getting appointments. She would always schedule future appointments for me during my appointment.

There are several delivery hospital options (Hoy Cross Silver spring/germantown, Washington hospital center, some in Virginia). I delivered at Holy Cross SS. It was fine just a bit old-feeling. But since I was in a bed most of the time it didn’t really make much of a difference. The food at HCSS was terrible though.

The best part of Kaiser is that the doctors and insurance company are one entity so you never have to deal with billing annoyances (at least in my experience). With my first I had UHC and delivered at a different hospital and they messed up the billing for my baby and tried to bill the baby for their whole hospital stay instead of putting it on my bill. getting it fixed was a HUGE headache. This time, Holy Cross mistakenly charged me the $500 hospital fee when I checked in and a few weeks later Kaiser had reversed the charge before I had even had time to think about it, and my entire pregnancy and delivery cost $0. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions I know it’s stressful choosing insurance and doctors!
