Paying your hospital bill..

I'm just wondering how fast everyone paid their hospital bill after giving birth. With Jocelyn I delivered at Rex and they hounded us for our CC to pay. We paid before being discharged only to be refunded the full amount, since I had met my deductible.

This time around my OB told me we have 3 months to pay and even if they harass you at the hospital they can't file insurance that quick so they don't need to collect the money. Our deductible is larger this time, so I'd like to wait for the itemized bill to arrive. We do not owe our OB anything, so it would be all hospital charges.
