Last Prenatal Check Up

Today, November 08, 2013. We need to visit our OB again for another check up and scan, If we decided to let our baby deliver this day, OB need to check the maturity of our dear baby boy. As for the scan and my placenta, still not that old enough, my OB wanted to have atleast Grade 3 placenta to be more matured and baby will be ready for our delivery and outside word. So we decided to really move into my desire date 11-12-13 (November 12, 2013 , Tuesday).

Today is our last prenatal check up. Next week is our Big Day. To see, kiss and hug our loving baby boy. Oh, I can't wait. haha. Contractions still come and go and more frequent now a days. Still cervix is open on 1cm. Having hard time to move and to walk. 

Then we finally knew that, there are new policy in the hospital today. So mommy beware if I ware you try to consult  your OB/Doctor. The PF of all the doctors that will assist you like OB, Pediatrician, Anesthesiologist, will no longer accept payment directly or personally. All bills will be paid directly to Hospital Cashier/accounting and hospital will add 15% additional for every PF that will declare, but this 15% will not go through the hospital it will just passes to them to pay taxes to our government (hmm.. thinking of Pork Barrel? yes it is..  tsk tsk!!)  So the secretary of the clinic is kinda close to me, she gave us an advice, but she said do not inform my OB that the idea came to her. haha..

We decided to give a down payment  to all the doctors that will handle us, my OB, Pedia and Anes but sad to say the Anesthesiologist is not too close to our OB to inform him regarding that matter so, we don't know if we can ask him to do the same thing with him but my OB said she will try to talk to him.

Here is the actual Fee's with 15% of our OB, OB's assistant, and Pedia

Actually the PF of my OB is

=30,000, but less: 5,000  Philhealth

=25,000 

but because of the hospital is new. and its my repeat CSection, My OB said she decided to ask for assistant for another OB that she already knew for a long time, As for repeat CS is more complicated, specially she is not the one who done it at the first time. and the hospital is new so,she barely know all the nurses and GP assistant that will help her. So, she explain it everything to us, instead of getting the whole 25,000 PF she decided to get the 20,000 plus 15% tax  and let Dra. Roelen Cabalza the assistant get the 4,500. exclusive if 15% taxes.

and to our Pedia fees is 5,200 plus 15%, so if we will not give some downpayment, we need to pay that 15% of that whole amount all that fees. sad to say we haven't talk to our Anes, which fees will range 8-10k as per our OB.

Here is the list we make for our Downpayment.

So basically the only fees that will be charge for 15% are:

OB Balance: Php5,000 Plus 15%

Pedia Balance: Php2,200 plus 15%

Anesthesiologist : ranging Php 8,000-10,000 plus 15%
