Hey Kelly,

Can you please explain that? What fee exactly are you talking about? I just got another bill in the mail from my obstetrician today. It says "final obstetric gap fee (not claimable)". I've also paid a huge amount last year that I could claim through Medicare.

I am private ... was told by everyone who wanted to give me advice that it was the way to go... and now I am regretting it. Wish I had gone birth centre instead. Lesson learnt for next time, hey?!

I rang up and asked and was told it wasn't possible to change. Plus the guy I wanted to change to wasn't taking any new patients.

Yeah, they were probably being difficult if you know many people who have done it...

Thanks for your help,
Michelle
