Going from Private to subsidised

if you wish to downgrade, inform the nurse and they will do the first cut of means-testing to see if you are eligible. if you didn’t pass the means testing at the clinic, they will refer you to see the medical social worker and gather your info on financial and family situation before they assess your appeal. However, the appeal takes time so easier if you go to polyclinic should you didn’t pass the nurse’s means-testing at the clinic. The staff are not able to tell you explicitly to go polyclinic for downgrading. At the polyclinic, inform tt you are f/u at KKH but wish to downgrade and ask for referral letter to bring to KKH. Do this before you deliver as polyclinic can only do so for outpatient f/u. KKH should recognise the downgrading then, but likely cannot be following up with same gynae.
