I've went for 1 consultation and 1 glucose resistance test at subsidized rate. you can see the differences from the bill. I will opt for subsidized one until 3rd trimester, then switch to private then ward A for delivery. If you've switched to private at later stage, but facing early delivery and know that ur baby will be warded in NICU, u still can downgrade to subsidized rate as the expenses in NICU could be crazy.

After Medisave deductions and MMP, you’ll need to fork out extra cash. Appointment wise would probably be faster.
