NUH Bill Size for Ward A1

Hi all, I've recently been discharged from NUH and received the final bill. I am required to pay $5.3k cash altogether for two days stay at the A1 Ward. I did normal delivery with epidural. Based on what I've heard from friends and this app, most of you guys paid between $3.5- 4k cash only. Are they overcharging me? I've already emailed them. How much did you guys pay for yours?

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're facing this situation with your NUH bill. It's understandable to feel concerned about the amount you've been asked to pay, especially when comparing it to what others have paid for a similar stay in the A1 Ward. Firstly, it's great that you've already taken the step to email them about your concerns. This is a proactive way to address the issue and seek clarification on the charges. Sometimes, there may be factors specific to your situation that could have led to the higher bill, so it's important to get a detailed breakdown from the hospital. In the meantime, if you feel that the amount you've been asked to pay is significantly higher than what others have paid for a similar stay, you can also consider reaching out to NUH's billing department directly to discuss your bill further. They may be able to provide more information or even offer some flexibility in payment options. Remember to keep a friendly and respectful tone in your communications, as it's always more productive to work towards a solution together. I hope you're able to resolve this issue soon and get clarity on your NUH bill. Take care! https://invl.io/cll6she

Hihi, my expected due date is September 2024, and I'm under NUH private care. We've been informed that the total cost for a normal delivery 3D2N in an A1 ward is $5.1k, which came as a surprise as we're required to pay upfront/deposit (cash) before delivery 😅 The nurse mentioned changes to their procedures during financial counseling last week. Maybe it’s true there an adjustment of the bills. But you can check with them if you have any query.

I paid 7.5k deposit at KKH A1 ward. There will be adjustments after you deliver and Medisave deduction too. U have to wait 2weeks after delivery for the exact bill it will be a lot lesser than u think unless there is emergency C sect or preeclampsia. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia during delivery my total bill was 13.5k 4D3N and 1 night at High dependency unit.

Hi it depends on when you give birth tho. Cause I was informed by one of the staffs that after March 2024, there will be cost adjustments of the bill since my EDD will be on June 2024. Cause one of my friends who was under NUH ward A1 paid $4k+ when she gave birth on January 2024

Oh man, the nurse who went thru the estimated bill size with me didn't even bring this up to me, and my EDD was in April. 😑

1) Why would NUH, a public hospital, overcharge??? I can imagine you being paranoid if you had gone private. 2) Why are you being uptight about this 5.3K amount when you should be focusing on your baby???🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I have paid for A1 ward bill at KKH (normal vaginal delivery) in early May this year and it was about $9,078 cash for 4D3N so I would say yours is alright. Don’t worry! Nowadays, giving birth is just very costly 😅

I also believe NUH as a public hospital is a non-profit institution so the risk of overcharging should be minimal.

it could be the extra consumables u might have used. can check with nuh billing dept if u have any query =)

maybe their bill is years back. 2024 . that's the standard price.
