Subsidied patient but follow through same consultant

8 weeks pregnant now, preivously had a etopic and miscarriage and follow through by this consultant under subsidied rate. Since pregnancy, I have been seeing this consultant as a subsidied patient though I have not requested. I am quite confused how this work. Is there a need to choose private if I want this consultant to follow through me?.

I understand your worry, but honestly the subsidy and private thing can be confusing lah. From what I know, if you're already registered as a subsidised patient with your consultant at a restructured hospital like KKH, you can usually continue seeing that same doctor on the subsidy scheme throughout your pregnancy unless you specifically ask to switch to private. The consultant doesn't need you to go private just to keep following you. That said, every hospital has slightly different admin processes, so I'd suggest you call your clinic directly or ask at your next appointment to confirm your current arrangement and whether anything changes as you progress, especially given your history. Better to clarify now than wonder later, right.
