Dear Forumers,
Today I receive the bill from Mount Alvernia and I was shock to see the charges from Dr Geraldine Tan and I will like to clarify with you or anyone of you who has past experience with Geraldine Tan.
My wife gave birth to my daughter at Mount Alvernia. Dilation from 11am to 7pm. In between she came once to visit (consider as 1 visit). Then Dr G came at 7pm and my wife started pushing from 7pm to 8pm plus and gave birth on good friday (day 1). Its natural delivery and it took merely an hour plus for my daughter to come out.
Doctor Operation Fee by Geraldine Tan - $1600 ( before GST)
Subsequently she came to visit my wife the next 2 days (Sat & Sun). Each visit was less than 20mins. So in total 3 days of visit.
Doctor attendance fee - $1000 (before GST)
Charges stated on her clinic -
Normal delivery - $1000-$1500
Attendance Fee - $200-$300 per visit
My wife tried to clarify with her since the charges stated differ from what she charge. She mentioned she charge $100 more as its a holiday. The thing is that my wife took only 1 hour plus to push the baby out (Its consider fast from what i heard from my other peers), so when will she be charging $1000, $1100 or $1500? (I presume the less time taken for the delivery the less cost?) and just becos its public holiday, its has to be $1600?
As for the attendance fee, $200-300 per visit. Even if I were to max out to $300 per day. it will only be $900. Why the $1000? She mentioned mount a is under renovation hence due to inconvenience to come to mount A, she tends to charge patients higher. Seriously, is the renovation causing a very big issue that she has to charge max out $300 and additional $100 for her "inconvenience"?
We sound out to her and thats the reason she gave for the above charges. Dear forumers, I really appreciate your kind feedback and forumers that has dealt with her before, do she has such charges before?
Thanks
