If it shocks you farther, it’s just a little check box when you have a baby boy. Just a little bit of the paperwork before discharge. You don’t even have to be there, and it’s free. Very strange, all things considered.

Free? Free?!! In a hospital, in the U S of A?!!! Ok now I’m really shocked.

It’s not free. It costs hundreds of dollars. The user above may have had it covered by insurance, but that’s a different thing. Entirely NOT free

Oh, phew. I was worried for a minute there.

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.

If you done while inpatient it is covered by most insurances as part of labor and delivery. When you are discharged for the hospital it would be considered cosmetic surgery.

Do you get to keep the leftovers?

Only at hospitals that decline to accept tips.

Nah… they let you keep the placenta, sure, but the doc gets to keep the foreskin for their special baby skin leather doctor’s coats.
