Thanks guys. I've had the health insurance policy for a while, it is a shame that they cover so little of it - but I guess every bit helps. I'll have to give them a call and see :)

I will be considered high risk, so hopefully the govt will help out somehow!]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 14:23:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1359052&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1359052 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358855&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358855 Author: KarenMae

What PB said...

I know there is another plan (can't remember the name) which I think has $500 cover. And you do have to be on for 3 years continuously...

I am doing obstetrician privately and he costs $3300 - so out of pocket $2050...

Has a good payment system though.... $1100 at 20 weeks, and same again at 30 and 40 weeks. So no out of pocket expense until 30 weeks which is a wee while off...]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 08:48:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358855&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358855 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358682&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358682 Author: Princess_Bubs

Second to what the others said...

The wellbeing two and Ultracare plans both cover$1,250 worth of obstetrics after 3 years continuous cover, however an obstetrician costs $3-4k.

Im pretty sure though if you are considered high risk, that your midwife will work in conjunction with an ob and that will be funded.

Good luck

Depends if your policy includes it, just ring them and ask :-) I do know that you need to be on the policy for 3 years before you are eligable though.]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 15:24:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358538&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358538 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358515&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358515 Author: CrazyCass

I think there is a limit of around $1500 - might pay to check
One of my friends have just been through it & have had to pay an extra $3,000 to cover their care.

Is there anyway you could get it covered publicly? Once you are UTD, or you could call a MW now and see what they say? ]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 14:40:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358515&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358515 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358502&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358502 Author: Velvet

Thinking ahead here...
Because of my health problems I will need an obstetrician when I get UTD, does anyone know if Southern Cross medical insurance cover you for obstetric care?]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 14:13:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39814&PID=1358502&title=health-insurance-obstetric-care#1358502
