Ok I will try to answer all of your questions! lol
What sort of prices do Obs cost? OK Dennis is one of the cheapest in Melbourne . He charges, $100 for first consultation, $50 for every visit and a management fee of $1200 after 20 weeks. All of these can be claimed on Medicare, so once you reach your threshold you get 80% of your out of posckets back, ie I got back $48 of every $50 consultation. This just depends purely on your safety net position. His deliver fee is around $1500 but that should be fully covered by your private Health Fund.
Also, what hospitals does Dennis work out of?? (Some only do certain hospitals) Dennis delivers out of Cabrini, Waverley Private and Jessie Mac
also Do you have to have an obs, or can ultrasounds etc be done at like a dorevich place. You have to have an ob if you go to a Private Hospital, otherwise you could go public and then I am pretty sure all of your scans are covered, but you are limited to what staff are on at the time, and if you need an ob, you get the OB that is rostered as well. Your other option is midwifery care in some public hospitals that have midwifery led programs.
