private patient in public hospital....

[rani]

I know a couple of people who have stayed in a private room and their final bill have been close to $60K. That's for a c-section. Not sure what we're missing. Maybe Dr's fees, nursery, Paediatrician?

Well, 60K would certainly be a different story to 13K! If anybody has any experiences changing to a private room after being in a general ward at the QM I would love to hear about it -- especially if anyone knows for sure whether this is actually possible, and if so what actual charges are accrued.

Are there any circumstances under which a public patient can have access to a private or semi-private room at QMH? Is it a matter of whether there are any private rooms free? Or does the hospital have a strict policy separating the public and private streams?

Do someone have a reply at this question? I have same problem.....
