Charlie needed seven days of neonatal intensive care, which resulted in a huge bill $207,455 for the NICU alone and confusion over which parent s insurer would cover the little girl s health costs.

Mikkel and Kayla Kjelshus found out the hard way that they didn’t have a choice about which parent’s insurance was considered primary after daughter Charlie was born and spent seven days in the NICU.
