How much should I budget for?? Re: scans, blood tests

I'm not sure about the NT scan as we didn't have one, but depending where you go you should be able to get bulk-billed for the 19-week one. Blood tests also should be bulk-billed via your GP.
If you want extra scans or 3/4D ones, then you may have to go to a private billing place. I can't remember what we paid for our 19-week scan the first time - must have been somewhere between $100-200.

I was public in SA, dating scan through hospital was free, morphology scan was free through the hospital, nuchal test isnt covered by medicare so there is a charge for that but the bloods through the hospital wasnt going to cost anything either.
