my private ob with private insurance wasnt much really. appointments were $55 and i got $30 back per appointment from medicare, then after 20 weeks i got charged $1400 which i got $500 back from medicare. i cant comment too much on anaethetists or in hospital as i ended up in a public hospital so it was only my ob that charged which all fees were covered by private health. all i had to pay was the hospital excess. the paediatrician and anaethetist were public so medicare paid that.

imo i say its very well worth it. but then again i had a very complicated pregnancy and i liked having my ob just a phone call away if i was ever concerned or worried.

have a chat with the receptionist at the ob's office and they will give you a run down of all the fees and what they are for
