First off, The hospital is going to send a bill to the insurance company for like $374,000 or some other stupid amount.
Yep. Getting these bills myself now. Luckily, this is the second time around, so I prepared myself for the BS that is medical billing. It's almost laughable to open one and see that the hospital billed for $30k and insurance says "nah, how about $800".
OP, as others stated, you will get several different bills most likely. Hospital charges for mom & baby separately, OBGYN charges, anesthesiologist (even got a separate nurse anesthetist one this time), hospital pediatrician, etc. Just be sure to keep track of everything you get and make sure it's all correct (deductible, co-ins amount, etc).

Just poking my head in this thread to further comment on the ridiculous nature of medical billing. I'm going through it now with twins and guess what? They charged us double for the ultrasounds. DOUBLE. I get it. It's twice the babies. But c'mon. It's not twice the work. It's the same appointment, the gel is already spread over mama's belly, you just gotta move that wand over 5 inches and take a couple more shots. Insane.
Also, I was chatting with some buddies who also had some babies recently. One of them works in finance, another in accounting, and I deal a lot in real estate transactions, and NONE of us ever felt like we understood what was happening with the billing process. I can't imagine what it's like for single teen moms trying to make sense of it all if the three of us felt totally lost.
