If I am not mistaken, nowadays can be means tested and downgraded. A lot of times, complicated cases get referred from private to restructured due to the potential high costs involved if treatment is rendered at the private hospital.... or really specialised “skill” required

 

I believe the vast majority of MCFers will not qualify for downgrade based on means testing. If you don't qualify for a CHAS card, i doubt you can pass the govt's mean testing.

In the case of NICU. Baby icu.

 

Out needs a whole dept of specialist to run 24 by 7.

The amount of equipment is mind boggling.

 

I don't think any private hospital can gather.. and maintain 24 by 7.. that kind of human and material resource.

 

Yup.

 

This is a nice series of children in the KKWCH ICU and what the kids and parents face. I watched it 2 months ago.

your precious getting better?

Think your last update was sometime back.

 

For this case of very large bills. I think they may help.

But for like normal hospital admission, the income level in here, i think difficult to qualify based on my previous experience.

So far encounter with KKH have been great. The Delivery Suites, NICU as well as post discharge care.

My girl decided to come so much early & spend four months in NICU then...

 

My understanding is there are limited space in the NICU ward and KKH will reject premature delivery case if it is full or pending case. NUH & SGH does have bb NICU too although I feel KKH will be more experience & equipped.

Wow.. must cost a BOMB. 4 months no joke siah..

Hope you had pregnancy insurance... or baby already covered under medi shield.

Had colleagues who paid 6 figures in earlier times.

It is fortunate that a great medical team was available and our Little Warrior fight a tough battle of survival.

 

That four months was indeed stressful.

Just thought I should share this vehicle identification and locating system which is used in Sengkang General Hospital.

 

Was surprised by it as was not aware that such a system exists.
