Insurance gets charged if it is done, but a friend told me there is no actual charge to the parents. She said there was a lot of pushback about not getting it done and that was one of their "selling points" when she said she wasn't going to pay for it. Seems like fraud of some kind.

I mean, if insurance fully covers it, then the parents don't get charged. That's not fraud. That's just how that works. It's weird the hospital was so pushy about it though
