Maternity contacts, birth-suite rules and self-funded package details

Ward or area Official listed visiting hours Important note

Children visiting Maternity FAQ says children visiting hospital must be supervised at all times. Ask ward staff before bringing children into clinical areas.
Visitor hygiene: Kareena’s patient information encourages visitors to clean hands before entering and leaving the hospital and patient rooms. Face masks are available and can be worn if desired.

Payments, private health cover, self-funded estimates and gap questions

Kareena Private Hospital is a private hospital, so cost depends on your health fund, procedure, specialist, anaesthetist, assistant, prosthesis/device, pharmacy, pathology, imaging, WorkCover, DVA, self-funding and whether an insurer has approved payment. Do not rely on guessed costs.

Private health cover

Before admission, contact your health fund to check excess, waiting periods, exclusions and whether your cover matches the planned procedure and accommodation.

Self-funded patients

Kareena states estimated hospital costs must be paid by you or your nominee prior to or on admission. Self-funded enquiries go to Estimations.KRP@ramsayhealth.com.au.

Third-party patients

Estimated hospital costs must be paid before or on admission unless the hospital has received payment approval from the insurance company.

Maternity extra fees

Official maternity FAQ says birthing suite/theatre, accommodation, pharmacy and partner meals may be charged by the hospital, while obstetrician, paediatrician and anaesthetic fees are negotiated directly with doctors.

Questions to ask before paying or admission

Cost question Ask this before admission Why it matters
Hospital estimate “What exactly is included in the hospital estimate?” Hospital accommodation and theatre costs may not include every doctor or ancillary fee.
Health fund “Is my level of cover adequate for this procedure and accommodation?” Excess, co-payment, waiting periods and exclusions can change your out-of-pocket amount.
Specialist fees “What will the surgeon/obstetrician/specialist charge separately?” Specialist fees are billed by the practitioner, not always by the hospital.
Anaesthetic and assistant fees “Will there be separate anaesthetist, assistant surgeon or allied health fees?” Maternity and surgical pages identify these as potential separate costs.
Pharmacy, pathology, imaging and x-ray “Could pathology, imaging, x-ray or discharge pharmacy attract an additional charge?” Official maternity booklet and FAQ identify these as possible additional charges.
Self-funded maternity “Does the package include baby care, Special Care Nursery and extra nights?” Official package lists Special Care Nursery from night 2 onwards and extra nights as additional costs.
Estimate safety: if Kareena or Ramsay has not publicly listed a fee, this article does not invent one. Ask Kareena, your specialist and your health fund for a written estimate before admission wherever possible.
