Switch back to subsidized from private after bb is born

Hi Mummies, anyone here 1) switch from subsidized to private when approaching delivery so to stay in A ward and then 2) after discharge from hospital switch back to subsidized again? Just get referral letter from polyclinic to be under subsidized route right? Anything to note?

I think you can only switch to subsidize if your baby is admitted to SCN or NICU. That’s what happened to my twins. On day of admission i chose B1 class which is private then my twins got admitted to SCN and KKH asked if i want to downgrade them to C class. But otherwise any follow ups with your gynae will continue as private patient.

I was also on subsidized route until the day of admission. When my twins was admitted to SCN, the hospital asked if i want to downgrade them to C class because it will cost me a bomb. It should be the same with NICU too. Anyway, KKH is very accommodating. If you run into any financial issues, just explain to them and they’ll be happy to work out something for you.
