NUH private

Question

Currently I am with NUH subsidised, am considering to change to NUH private. But I have concern if I have preterm labour - wondering will it be considered as private patient or subsidised( probably will cost a fortune ?) #justbeingparanoid

Won’t be a problem as long as you’re a Singaporean. If you ever go into preterm labour (touch wood) as a private patient in NUH, you can always downgrade to subsidised prior to delivery. That’s what they would advice you to as well. Mainly for baby cause the class status for baby would follow yours. And the NICU fees for A class preterm baby (when there’s no difference) is exhorbitant..
