But as a PR I may as well go to a private hospital/clinic cost wise. That looks reasonable and might be worth doing both of us. full whack is still less than a grand for 2. Bloody MRI as a PR is Still 900 out of pocket. (300 if citizen).
My dad is a PR, but the prices he’s quoted me are a little over 4 grand. Is this normal? He gets most of his physicals/procedures done at Mount E Novena.
Based on my experience ME is generally 1.5x-3 more expensive in anything comparing to the government facilities. This not guaranties unfortunately the quality (again, my experience) but pretty much guaranties more reasonable timing and availability of the appointments/treatment.
But 4k, I think it has to be some more than the markers. At least some procedures (colonoscopy etc) or some high-tech scans (MRI).
I’d told him to go in for a full physical, so prostate exam, blood tests, and I’m sure a couple other procedures.
And yes, the quality of experience at Mount E is insane. It’s like checking in to a hotel. The TVs are smart TVs, and the rooms all have a view. I guess that’s what you pay for, to stay in a hotel that doesn’t feel like a hotel.
