KKH delivery and bill🤰🏻✨
I was with KKH as a subsidised patient (polyclinic referral route), delivered in KKH and opted to stay in class A1 ward.
I had a pretty good experience with the subsidised route, no complaints and would choose the same route again should I have another child. Opted for the A1 ward during delivery because I wanted the privacy and my husband to stay with me.
I had my regular appointment on 29 Jan(39+3) morning, and planned for an induction on 1 Feb. Upon arranging for the induction, it will reflect in the HealthBuddy app under admissions and you will be able to see the estimated bill and the option to choose the ward you would like(pic 2) Payment for the bill can be done at this moment, any excess payment will be refunded to you upon the release of the final bill. I received my refund via paynow.
My baby was pretty eager to see the world and did not wait till the planned induction day, my contractions started on the night of 29th, and I admitted myself wee hours of 30th. Baby was safely delivered on 30th Jan!
Food in the ward is decent, the nurses will come to you prior to the meal for you to choose what you want to eat from their menu. Menu is not super extensive, but there are several options of confinement food, western food and other varieties, pretty decent I would say.
The care provided by the team was amazing, the nurses were very responsive whenever the call button was pressed. Babies can be left with the nurses at the nursery during the night and you can opt for them to bring the baby to you every 3h for latching. Nurses will bring the baby back to your ward around 6/7 am.
Hope this helped to provide some insights on the admission and delivery!
During my stay at KKH, I found the entire delivery and billing process quite streamlined and transparent, especially with the use of the HealthBuddy app. It allowed me to view my admission details and get an estimated bill, which included government subsidies and payment options, making financial planning less stressful. The Class A1 ward provided a private and comfortable environment. It was well-equipped with amenities like air conditioning, a TV, a mini fridge, and even a sofa bed for my husband, which made the stay much more relaxing. The nurses were highly attentive, responding promptly every time I pressed the call button. They also offered helpful options like bringing my baby to me every 3 hours during the night for feeding and care. Regarding meals, while the menu wasn't extensive, the variety covered confinement and western food choices, and I appreciated being able to select my meal each time. Their confinement food helped me with post-delivery recovery, reflecting thoughtful care. The billing details I received clearly broke down the ward charges, delivery fees, medications, and other treatment costs. Thanks to government subsidies and Medisave claims, my net payment was significantly reduced. Any excess payments were efficiently refunded via PayNow after the final bill was settled. If you are considering delivery at KKH and choosing the subsidised polyclinic route or aiming for a Class A1 ward, this might give you a better picture of what to expect. The hospital staff's care and the app's digital features work together to ease both the medical and financial sides of childbirth.
