Hospital: Ashford Hospital, SA
NSD or CS: CS
I gave birth in Australia so for other GT posters thinking of giving birth in a
private hospital here...
(we have top level private health insurance with BUPA and they have a corporate health plan... everytime we're admitted to a private hospital, we have to pay $250 but because of the corporate health plan, our organization pays for this per annum)
so "excess" - none ($250 was shouldered by our organization)
pediatrician's fee - $100 ($400 originally but was covered by Medicare)
1st anesthetist's fee - none ($480 was covered entirely by our insurance)
2nd anesthetist's fee - $200 (originally $1217 but was covered by our insurance)
OB's fee - none (her fee was $2470 but it was covered by our insurance)
blood tests - none ($60 was covered again)
CT scan (pelvimetry) - none ($194 again covered)
other hospital tests - none (my insurance statement has the ff charges: $29, $225)
hospital stay (3 days in the hospital then after, I was moved to the maternity wing of a 5* hotel. Stayed here for 2 more days) - none ($5645 was again covered)
because maarte ako, I requested to upgrade our hotel room and was charged $50... surprised it was covered by our insurance din pala
so all up, only $300!

Pero if walang private health insurance, or you're not a PR and you want to give birth privately here, there's the breakdown.
We paid $300ish for our private insurance, monthly. And we had to be a member for at least 12 months (satisfy their waiting period) before we could claim childbirth benefits

antenatal is a different story... we paid $3500 all up for everything (OB checkup, blood tests, ultrasounds, CVS, etc... basta everything). Total expenses for antenatal care was $6000 but the government shouldered $2500.
NOW... if you just wanna give birth in a "
public" hospital (which is not the same level as public hospitals in Philippines... just putting it out there...)... everything is FREE!!!!

pati antenatal care. Basta lahat.
