Private Health Funds Covering Midwifery & Homebirth

[Ellibam]

i got a letter from defence health and they have increased there m/w cover!! which i think is awesome! its almost doubled it

HBA are hoping to start covering homebirth at the end of the year. I've been in contact with the lady working on it. She's not making any promises but she's working on it.

And I've looked and looked and the only other one I found was Aust. Unity - and that's only if you've been with them for 12 months. So the rest of us poor dumb bunnies have to fork out the big bucks to get the births we want. /rant off/

... at least there's the baby bonus

Thanks Night Goddess! Looks like we might stay with HBA, seeing as I don't think I"m preggers yet, and if I am (and just don't know it), then I'll scrape in for the end of the year. Not holding my breath, though - I've come to grips with the idea of using Baby Bonus money, even if DP doesn't want to (what's he going to do, force me to go the the FBC??? he he)
