    WARNING >>>>> Watch it if u r with MEDIBANK PRIVATE !!!!!

    THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF !!!!!!!!

    Wen I ws preg wt 1st bub jst ova 2yrs ago, I had 2 reps ova the phone & 1 in the actual office tell me my insurance level wld not cover me as a private patient in my nominated public hosp (I clearly told them wat hospital). And that I wld av 2 pay nearly $2000 to stay for 4nites in my own private room.

    I found out from someone in the insurance area of the hospital 2days after I gave birth that I did not av to pay THAT MONEY at all as that hosp had a deal with certain insurance companies 2 encourage those of us wt private health insurance 2 use that public hosp.

    Over a period of 3mths after my baby was born ... I kept ringing and was told the cheque owing 2 us ws either posted or went missing in the office. It ws dealt wt very unprofessional !!!

    It wasn't until we threatened that we wld get our solicitor 2 further deal wt the matter as we were getting no where & it ws stressing us out, that we finally recieved the money owing after ova 3mths.

    We received NO APOLOGY & NO ONE OFFERED 2 pay 4 the interest rate we had been paying on our credit-card 4 it from the earlier mths in my pregnancy wen we were told 2 1st pay 4 it.

    JUST SHOCKING 2 deal wt wen u jst had a new baby (and a colic one at that)
