At the very end of the Calgary-Herald article (titled: "Calgary's Quads - Born in the USA") it said that the Calgary Health Region will foot the entire bill. It isn't the first time this has happened this year, either:

Jepp was transported to Benefis hospital in Great Falls last Friday -- making her the fifth Alberta woman to be transferred south of the border this year because of neonatal shortages in Calgary.

Dr. Tom Key, the Montana perinatologist who delivered the babies, described the decision to send Jepp outside of Calgary as "unselfish."

"There's not a physician in either of our countries who wouldn't love to take care of a mom in this situation," he said.

Key added that Karen Jepp was transferred to Montana, in part, because physicians felt it was necessary to go ahead with a C-section after it appeared Dahlia's health may be in jeopardy.
