After my wife giving birth last year, I would say there is quite a bit of room for improvement. The whole billing process is such a mess when you receive different bills from doctors, the hospital, labs, etc. It seemed like the bills rolled in for months afterward, some going through insurance and some not even being billed to insurance.

Happy to have insurance after I saw the total bill, but man is it a huge headache.

I hope they figure something out if we never make it to a single payer type system.

It's worse if you get the surprise "Out of Network" doctor that assisted in the delivery. Nothing like getting a surprise $1,200 bill when you're sleep deprived. Long story short, we didn't have to pay any of that $1,200. But the last thing we needed with a new born was more stress.
