FAQs
The midwives at SJOG Bendigo and Dr Emma are available to answer your questions 24 hours once you are booked in at SJOG for your pregnancy.
Does Emma see patients without private insurance?
Emma can see patients in her rooms regardless of their insurance status so long as they have a referral from their family doctor.
Things like consultations and medical treatments, IUD insertion or other minor procedures can be done in the rooms.
Insurance is important if you need admission to hospital for an operation or to have a baby. It covers the cost of your hospital stay and contributes to covering your doctor’s fees and your blood tests and xrays.
You can still be admitted to SJOG as a private patient and pay “out of pocket” but expect to pay about $2000 for a day case or about $13000 to have a baby.
Does Emma do "Shared Antenatal Care"
Emma does book a few patients each month who are pregnant, but do not have private insurance and are intending to deliver their baby at Bendigo Health as a public patient. These patients have often had a previous bad experience, such as the loss of a baby and need extra care and don’t want to have to explain their story to a new person each time they have an appointment.
There is an out of pocket expense for their service, but these patients find the ongoing reassurance and availablility of consistant advice invaluable.
If you would like to be considered for this type of care please ask your GP to explain your situation in their referral letter.
When does Emma like to first see her pregnant ladies?
Ideally we would see you for your first appointment at about 8-9 weeks gestation. This allows Emma to discuss with you the options for Down’s Syndrome screening and Genetic Carrier Screening in good time and to address any other health concerns that might impact your pregnancy. She can do an ultrasound to check the pregnancy is looking healthy.
