I was told by Medicare just 6 weeks ago that the rebate for the pregnancy management fee is capped at $480 (approx) regardless of the fee charged. X-ray fees for pregnancy are also capped, regardless of whether you've hit the threshold also.

For these reasons, we're going public with this bub, despite two previous great private experiences. Would rather have that money AFTER the baby is born. Makes me think the baby bonus etc should be somehow redirected to cope with pregnancy management costs. But I guess that's another debate entirely.
