Maternity Charges at Queen Mary Hospital

hi is it safe to always have a ultrasound everytime a pregnant mother has a prenatal check up?
i am seeing dr.stephanie chow in central and its like 2,500hkd everytime i see her as she gives me an ultra sound everytime costs is 800 plus consultation plus plus so every 3 weeks it cashes up to 2500hkd. Is it possible to still change doctors as iam due in sept 16/this year?

you can change drs anytime you like.
i think private drs do so many ultrasounds because it's more $$$ for them! they assume that everyone has insurance to cover the cost.

i had a lot of ultrasounds during my 2 pregnancies at QMH, but i had 2 very complicated pregnancies. it isn't normal in the public system. the norm for the public system is 2 ultrasounds for the whole pregnancy.

i don't think that u/s harm the baby at all though... i think i had at least 8 ultrasounds during each of my pregnacies and both of my kids are happy and healthy.

Tours are held every Saturday at 12 noon (except public holidays and typhoon no. 8 or above). The gathering place is at K Block 6/F, i.e. the lobby outside K6S ward of our Hospital.

Make sure to call before you arrive for the tour! My wife and I just showed up, assuming that the tour was in the English language...no, only Cantonese. :eek:

Apparently the English language tours are held during the week.

I hope that this helps.
 
There is an English tour on Saturdays, but I think it's like every 4th Saturday or something like that. I had the dates for the English tours but I chucked them out, sorry! It was in the pack that they give you when you register...

yes - you can choose your doctor, but if you go private you will first need a referral letter from an outside OBGYN. i am with Dr C.P. Lee and she is very thorough...though also very busy

Hi Miggy
I am thinking of getting my maternity planned at queens mary hospital. I saw some positive reviews that you have posted for the hospital.That is very encouraging for me.It seems impossible that they charge only 350 hkd for the entire process.Was that a typo at your end?Also there are two types general and private.do they give all these facilities in private?or general.
Thanks

$350 is for public care. and it is correct. it includes everything IF you have valid HKID. it costs $100/day. private care at QMH is not much cheaper than private anywhere else.

$350 is based on a 3 night stay in hospital - if you need to stay for longer it would cost more, but that covers all treatment, medicine, surgery, everything.

can non-residents register anymore? i thought from 1st jan this year hospitals aren't allowed to take ANY non residents (apart from via a&e).
