Does NUH Antenatal Package covers Addl Scans after Week 32?
Private Patient at NUH. My baby’s weight is on the lower percentile (17%), so they ordered 2 scans - Week 34 (check for AFI levels) and Week 35 (Growth Scan). Will it be additional cost for these scans?
Oh, from what I've heard, the standard NUH antenatal package for private patients typically covers up to the 32-week scan, so any additional scans ordered after that, like your Week 34 AFI and Week 35 growth scan, would likely come at extra cost on top of the package. My neighbour went through something similar at NUH with extra monitoring scans in her third trimester and did end up paying separately for those, so it's really worth calling the billing counter to get a clear breakdown before your appointments. Some mums have found NUH quite transparent when you ask upfront, so don't hesitate to clarify, just ask them to quote you the scan fees so there are no surprises! Hope your little one's growth picks up well, 17th percentile is being watched closely for good reason, you're in good hands!
