I had to pre pay for my first child due to my shit insurance at the time. This was about 12yrs ago but they took the cost of the delivery and appointments and broke it into a $300 payment every OBGYN appointment my wife needed. Unfortunately the last 8 weeks she had to go in weekly for stress tests, that was an expensive few months. About a year later I got a check in the mail from the OBGYN office for about $900, they said it was for overpayment on the account, so that was nice I suppose.
