Mount Alvernia - Feedbacks anybody? Maternity experiences?
- Thread starter pearlie08

Yes you can call them to check. But I think there shouldn't be any problems because I think they just need a valid card to bill the charges.Paigepaige:782731 said:I do not have credit card. Will they accept debit?Hi Paigepaige, that's right. Like junebug 86 had mentioned, no cash required. Only nd credit card for payment. Mt A will send u the final bill about 2 weeks later

May I ask some questions about the hospital bill? Reading the Mount Alvernia Package, a Cae Section with GA will cost $2,866 (2 bedder), and medisave allowable is $3,500. how come my cousin say that she paid $3,200 cash for her hospital final bill ?? I need to estimate how much cash to reserve for my first delivery at Mount Alvervia. Many thanks ...

Hi joeytly, my gyn is also Dr CH Koh from tpy. I delivered in Mar 2013 at Mt A with emergency c-sec stayed in 2 bedder ward for 4d3n. Total bill including doc charges is 7k+, after medisave I paid near to 3k.
Charges by Dr Koh is as follows:
Doctor attendance fee: 700+
Doctor operation fee: near to 2k
I must say Dr Koh skill very good. My wound heal up very nicely and could walk around the second day.

OKay thanks!!
I think I will be going for natural Birth, anyone aware of the charges will be roughly how much ?Thanks!!
I need feedback of the hospital too! Is it good?
yes!! dr esther is my gynae also!! shes very sweet n caring. each appt with her was very detailedHello Everyone !
I am so so so happy to learn that my wife is expecting
After reading the Forum posts, we have decided to engage the service of Dr Esther Ng from Mount Alvernia.
Many have advised that it is important to having a caring and patient Gynae, and I hope Dr Esther would be a good choice for us
My younger sister delivered 2 cute kids at Mount Alvernia, and this helped our decision.
And now, I am looking forward to seeing the Gynae on Monday 13 May 2013
We are still guessing my wife's pregnancy week ...
Cheers

single bed definitely has more privacy... double bed depends on how many people deliver on the days you are there... if there is no one in the same ward as you.. you get a "single" bed also...
something that i heard that if you booked for single bed but all single beds are taken up when you deliver, you will be downgraded to double bed at single bed prices.. you might want to confirm if it is really true..

Last year they gave bath tub, mommy bag, small changing mat... not sure what they give these days..
just went to hospital tour at Mount A & Thomson yesterday. The 1st impression with Mount A is better. Tour take about an hr at Mount A and the charge that takes over around is patient and can answer to all questions, give me a cosy feeling. But the tour at Thomson takes half an hr, the in charge is talking very fast rushing for time, i dun feel ease at all. gg to give birth at Mount A.

#1 - Mt A single bed
#2 - TMC single bed
overall, i enjoyed my stay in Mt A as compared to TMC. TMC gives me a very commercialised feeling from Day 1.
Then again, i had good experience with the nurses at TMC, except for the minority during the night shifts.
if not for the gynae (clinic in TMC, different gynae from #1), i would have chosen Mt A. more cosy feeling.

Overall, I was pleasant delivered at MT. A for my first baby.
