From Subsidized patient to private patient

Hi, does anyone encountered this question in mind too? Is there a need to change the status from subsidized patient to private patient? Will it really make a big different?

The difference is having the same gynae see you for every consultation, and also they will be there to receive your baby/stitch you up/operate on you (if required). If you’re not particular about that, then many people are also subsidised patients and are happy about staying that way. Remember that when booking your room later on, if you’re a private patient, your baby automatically pays private rates too.

That would be considered an upgrade, so everything about the ward charges will be charged as private rate. You can request for financial counseling so they can advise you better (I know NUH arranges for it in your 3rd trimester during one of the appointment days)

You can choose your gynae that’s it. And you get better creature comforts. Our public hospital in Sg is top class. You won’t die. You will get proper care. You just won’t get lobster pasta. (I saw this for private wards!)
