We chose Mt Alvernia instead of Thomson Medical although both are good choices. It happens that the nice obstetrician we decided to stick with is from Mt Alvernia and his clinic is located there.
Cost is alarming. Here's a breakdown since our visit in April:
9/4/11 - consultation + supplements = S$282.50
12/4/11 - Oscar scan = S$318.85
18/4/11 - Lab prenatal profile (blood test) + consultation + medication for rashes = S$346.72
5/5/11 - consultation + supplements + cough medicine = $231.23
Total already spent S$1179.30.
Subsequently, we are also going to take up a S$900 Antenatal package with our obstetrician which includes consultation fees, urine tests, weight measurements and routine scans.
Supplements and medicine are extra costs. Detailed ultrasound scans, hospital visits and postnatal consultation are also not included.
We have to pay $1300 (of which $600 is Medisave claimable) for delivery fee, assuming everything is normal, no need for forceps or caesarean.
Hospital staying charges will then be a separate cost:
$1270 for 4-bedded, and $1390 for double bedded, assuming normal delivery. I'm considering between these 2. These should be all Medisave claimable. Definitely won't be going for the single room ($2070) as I find it too expensive. Hope everything goes smoothly on that day, baby don't make me suffer from contraction pains for too long, and we can go home happily after a night's stay.
Money is no issue as long as both of you are safe and healthy....
