Paying for your own private healthcare comes with many benefits. Specially when you’re pregnant, particularly if it’s your first child, you might feel that no costs should be spared and that you should do everything in your power to get the best possible care. Depending on the type of healthcare and hospitals which are available to you at that time, you and your partner may decide that the most convenient and suitable way will be private healthcare approach.
You’ll receive more care
Not every person likes to admit, but at times, if he pay more, he will get a better service in general. The more money you pay and the fancier the healthcare package is, the more time you’re going to get, the more advice you can take advantage of and the more you’ll be able to have everything your own way. You won’t be able to get St Vincent’s private hospital obstetricians at a cheap price, but you’ll be able to enjoy the high standard of care which is on offer.
It’s not always mega expensive
Just because you’ve seen sky high prices being advertising by one obstetrician doesn’t mean that everybody is going to charge the same amount. In many cases, older and more experienced doctors in Australia will put their prices up higher than anywhere else just to put people off and slow down their work load. Don’t let initial high prices discourage you; you might find someone just as qualified for half the cost. Just because somebody looks younger or they don’t have as much experience as the oldest doctor in the hospital doesn’t mean that they won’t do a good job. Younger doctors often have more enthusiastic and a will to succeed and do well, so you could be getting a cheaper price as well as a more caring and genuine doctor.
You won’t feel bad about taking up time
You won’t need to feel bad about picking up the phone and speaking to your obstetrician whenever you need to. Since you’re paying a lot of money for the service it will be easy for you. In fact, you may even have a dedicated receptionist who is able to answer the phone and pass on messages. And get the doctor to respond even quicker.
You can have things your way
One of the factors of private healthcare which appeals to many women who are about to give birth is the fact that they can have pretty much everything that they want. And the way that they want it. If they want to give birth at home, we can arrange that. If they prefer not to take pain relief, we can easily accommodate that as well and offer alternatives.
