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.
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.
Telehealth
Get Help From The Comfort Of Your Home
Medicare is making it increasingly difficult to provide this service, requiring a signed consent to bulk bill patients for each appointment. You can have Telehealth appointments for a review appointment but new patients need to be seen in person. You may be required to pay over the phone for a Telehealth appointment and then claim the rebate from medicare yourself.
