Mount Alvernia Hospital Bill
Hi mummies, does anyone knows how much cash do we prepare for Mt A bills? I am scheduled for csect w epi #1stimemom #advicepls

For a C-section with epidural at Mount Alvernia, you should mentally prepare around $7,000, $8,000+ out of pocket after MediSave, depending on your room type, single rooms cost more, and the package rates do vary quite a bit. Someone in my mum group mentioned that the hospital collects a deposit upfront (roughly 50% of estimated charges), so make sure you have that cash ready on admission day and not just at discharge. Honestly, the final bill can still surprise you because pharmacy charges and any extras during your stay add up on top of the package, I wish someone had told me to ask for an itemised estimate beforehand so I could budget more accurately. The MediSave claimable for a C-section with epidural does help take a chunk off, but do check your current balance so you are not caught short.

For a C-sect with epidural at Mount Alvernia, the total bill (mum and baby combined, including all doctor fees) can range quite a bit depending on your ward type and which OB you're with, someone in my mum group mentioned paying around $6,600 total for a 2-bedder in St Raphael's Ward, with cash out-of-pocket coming to only about $1,500 after CPF Medisave, which sounds pretty manageable. That said, others have shared figures closer to $10,000, $15,000 depending on the room type and any extras, so it really varies. My lean would be to budget at least $3,000, $5,000 cash to be safe, then let Medisave cover the rest, better to over-prepare and be pleasantly surprised than the other way around!
