LTVP giving birth at NUH

Question

Hi Mummies, I am currently on my 21st week and seeing Prof Su at NUH. I just have few questions hope anyone can share similar experience with me 🥺 So I am married to Singaporean currently  holding LTVP and planning to give birth at NUH (due date June 2022) however, I am unsure about the fees. Tried calling the hospital and some other people for information but I wasn’t given clear instructions. Since I am a foreigner, I am charged as Private Patient at NUH, but since my husband is local, we can claim financial help from Medisave. 1. Antenatal package with Prof Su is $1100 at 21 weeks. How do we claim antenatal expenses from medisave? Do we consolidate or automatically deducted from the package?2. How much was your total bill with normal delivery? Planning to take A1 ward as I am a light sleeper. Total bill for LTVP (foreigner) minus the medisave claims?3. My baby is automatically Singaporean to follow my husband. Is the baby’s fees fully paid, partially paid or not paid at all by his medisave grant upon giving birth?Apologies if I am asking wrong questions or if I assumed something wrongly as its my first time and I have no idea how these things work. I have very limited friends under LTVP so I am unsure 🙏 hope anyone can help me #pleasehelp #pregnancy #sgbabies #nuh #vaginalbirth

Im also LTVP holder, but im doing my check ups and will be giving birth at KKH. 1. I guess you need to pay upfront first the $1,100. and you can only claim the $900 maternity claims once you give birth. 2. i dont know about the bill of Nuh, but in Kkh LTVP PLUS holders can choose wards from A-C once will give birth. Kkh have bill calculator in their website. Medisave withdrawal will be Medisave withdrawal limits for Medisave Maternity Package (MMP) are as follows: $2,150 for Caesarean delivery $750 for Vaginal delivery $550 per day for the first two days and $400 per day from the third day onwards $900 for pre-delivery expenses 3. it depends on baby's ward and medical bills.
