Billing Information:
- For consults with midwives who are not yet Medicare eligible, you will be charged the Out of Pocket (OOP) amount only.
- The Midwifery Care Plan is a legal requirement for the midwives to conduct with each client once during pregnancy. It’s often a longer session and costs more upfront, but attracts a larger Medicare Rebate.
- A deposit of $500 is required of all MAMA clients. This fee is due at booking and is non-refundable (except in the event of a pregnancy loss.).
- The remainder of the Birth Support Fee is payable in full before 36 weeks pregnancy. The MAMA midwifery team will be available for you 24/7 from this time. Prior to 36 weeks, they can be reached at the clinic number.
- The Birth Support Fee is regardless of the time spent with you (in case of very slow or quick births, no additional costs or discount).
- Return clients receive a $500 discount on their Birth Support Fee.
- The Birth Fee includes medical equipment. A pool and TENS machine are not included in the fee, but can be hired at an additional cost.
- Travel costs for home visits are charged at $0.80 per kilometer both ways.
- Consultation and birth fee prices are inclusive of GST.
