I don't know whether can see the same gynae at subsidised rate but for my case as a private patient seeing senior consultant, cost about $1100 for consultations and detail scans before my delivery.intending to go polyclinic to get referral letter to KKH. heard that, as a subsidized patient at KKH and if i want a fixed doc, need to pay a little more.
pte gynae has pkg costing $588.50 (starts from wk 16) at gleneagles. if i engaging this pte gynae, i will choose to give birth at mount alvernia.
dunno which is more cost efficient. wondering if the subsidized visits (with fixed doc) to KKH will add up to more than $588.50
I agree with pipilili. My previous pregnancy was with a private gynae at a private hospital. And I normally have to wait for an hour or sometimes 2 before I could see him. I even took a one-bedded ward in a private hospital too, but Ive seen the wards at TPS and they look nicer than the one I was in!Actually it all depends, I have waited for 2 hrs to see private gynae at private clinic before. The wait is horrid.
Now I decided to choose TPS - KKH. I think KKH is very smart to implement this scheme, the waiting time is definitely shorter than their specialist centres at KKH. However in terms of cost, it's the same as private gynae at private hospital/clinic.
I choose KKH becos its 24 hrs. Anything wrong, I just rush down to KKH and they will have my records. (just 2 cents worth) At the end of the day, it all depends on you.:001_302:
