Homebirth General Discussion #14

[Jennifer13]

Glorious, I also claim my IM on private health, but I couldn't do that until after the birth. If your m/w will be qualified and can register with your insurer before you claim, shouldn't that be okay? My m/w fee was all bundled in one invoice so it made no difference whether I was claiming for antenatal and/or birth on my PHI.

[glorious]

I am not sure if she could register with my PHI.. i think i will call and find out.

[glorious]

all they require is for them to be registered and to have their details on the invoice.. because i get $500 for the AN/PN visits per financial year i am hoping that i might get a couple of appt is before this financial year is over then use up the rest next year.

does your midwife have someone she can collaborate with, maybe her student supervisor, who you could have appts with? or who could invoice you.

[glorious]

students are not allowed to attend private homebirths only ones offered by MGP.
I think i will have to find an IM who is happy to just do AN care then have my other midwife do the birth

[HotI]

I had a student attend my (private) homebirth.

I had a student at my private HB too.
