Obscure ‘Birthday Rule’ Costs Colorado Couple $5,000 More For Normal Hospital Birth

WESTMINSTER, Colorado (KCNC) A little-known Colorado insurance law is making a big difference for a Westminster couple, and they’re hoping their story will alert other expecting parents. Jessica Rapp and Jake Irwin say they are having to pay $5,000 more for the birth of their son, Jack, simply because of when their birthdays fall in the calendar year.
Rapp says Jack was born last August without any complications, and the hospital stay for the birth was only two nights. But three months later, she learned those two nights would cost her family $5,000 more, due to a law called the “birthday rule.”
