Hi all thanks for the replies. Thanks clubman I had a look at the tax site I’m on the lower tax bracket so that’s the rate I get back. (Better than a kick in the teeth). The Doc only does private or public, not semi private, unfortunately, and only works from 1 hospital (which is the reason I now need a C section). So 4 surgeries in 1 year later, after a public birth and in the public sector. I am dreading going back, even private, to the same hospital, but rock and hard place keep springing to mind.
Yep, Towger they knew I needed a C section, that’s why I was wondering was the fee higher or about average, as after 4 public babies (3 born in another hospital) I didn’t have a clue what the fee's should be, as when I did a search they were coming in around 2,300 to 3,500 but that was for around last year.
Well where there’s a will there’s a way, we've been paying the VHI long enough and never actually used it, so guess its time to now. Were lucky to have 4 and blessed to be here with no 5, although 9 pregnancies later, I think this may be our final miracle, although never say never.
Thanks to all, if anyone has anymore feedback or advice, keep it coming, it won’t fall on deaf ears. All the best Mia
