With #1 I was a private patient in a public hospital, had my own room etc and the hospital and staff were great but we were out of pocket by about $1,800 all up with HBA. We then changed to HCF and with #2 were out of pocket about $800, again as a private patient in a public hospital. With this one, we're going public and so far we've paid for 2 ultrasounds ($180 each - got $80 back for each) but that's only because I had to be referred to a "specialist" ultrasound centre who charge like wounded bulls LOL. The ultrasounds from here on in are at the hospital and are bulk billed.

I'd definitely recommend doing the tours of the different hospitals you're interested in.

Good luck!!!
