Pla what are the estimates for hospital,epidural and baby?
Did the 5000cad charged my mosaic primary health care cover doctor, prenatal n baby? Kindly clarify. Thanks[/quote]Yes the 5000 cad covers the doctor fee, prenatal and post natal check up and baby.
Peter Lougheed centre rate for non residents - Semi or standard room 3,865 cad per day
Semi Private room 4, 015 per day
Private room 4, 052
New born healthy 2, 063
Intensive care unit 9,988
Am not Sure about the rate for epidural

Am due in August and the hospital they use is Peter lougheed just beside the clinic. So prenatal, doctor and baby is settled....They gave us estimates for hospital, epidural and baby . Buy said the hospital will bill us after the baby comes .

I got into Calgary first week of this month . I was able to get an appointment with mosaic primary health care , they asked me to come with all my results and scabs from Nigeria which I did. Prenatal , doctor, postpartum care up to 6 weeks after delivery everything is cad 5000. The doctor is really nice and said she'll need to review my results from Lagos to know the ones i have to do . Sent me for scan and later asked me to go for some blood work.

Thank you dazzling for taking time out of your super busy schedule to reply my msg. It means so much to me. God bless you.

dear funkymum. I am just hearing that Dr Kayode does not take non-OHIP again. Can you double check, maybe ask hotstepper cause this is news to me. if this is the case, then go to a walk-in clinic and they will direct you to a doctor that accepts non-OHIP patients. If this does not yeild results then I may need to call someone outside this forum for advise.

[Hello dazzing, congrats on the safe delivery of your little one. Pls can you help me with the doctor's contact? Do you know if they accept international patients without insurance? Because i called dr Kayode and i was told he no longer accepts patients without insurance and i have npt been able to get any doctor that will accept patients with no insurance . Patiently awaiting your response. God bless you and kisses to your little one. quote author=dazzing post=64917505]Dear forum contributors, thank you for sharing all your experiences. I have been a silent follower of this thread since July 2017, and I benefited greatly from the forum. I would like to share my own experience so others can benefit and particularly shed some light on areas that may not have been adequately covered in the forum.

First thing is that I read the entire forum discussion from page one until the fifties. I got my visa some years back, I was given till the end of my passport. I have been to Canada before, therefore when I went for birthing it wasn’t my first time in the country. I had an interesting experience as the hospital I registered and went for ANC is not the same hospital I delivered at, as my labour came unexpected in late night. There was a mild snow storm (December weather so expected) so we couldn’t drive to far to my original hospital, I went to the hospital closest to me which was the famous Brampton civic hospital. My original plan was Stevenson memorial in Alliston.

TIP 1: register in a hospital close to your house as anything can happen.

I rang the doctors whose details was shared on this forum and true to what has been mentioned, both Dr Grace and Dr Abou, said they do not take non-OHIP patients anymore. Dr Kayode still does, but I didn’t use him. I also rang the Amma mid-wives services and their fees is CAD 4600. This excludes the hospital fees if you do decide to have a hospital delivery, also I opted not to use them. Below is break down of my expenses:

Epidura – CAD 500
Doctor fees – CAD 2,350 (this is a combo of the doctor fees who did my check ups and the delivery fees on the day)
Hospital fees – Brampton 2600 (i.e. 200 registration, 400 baby, 2000 my hospital day fee) Stevenson 500 (registration fees for non-resident)
Baby check-up CAD 300 – (i.e. 50 for baby doctor fees after delivery, 200 full baby check-up at mother and child clinic, 50 for walk in centre baby check-up a few days after)
Total for the above medical is 6250

Other expenses include several uber trips. I was with a relative so my costs on that was covered I also had a friend who gave me some free ride when opportune, but we did have a CAD 450 bill for uber hospital visit just as an illustration of that particular expense.
Lifelab – CAD 107, tests for myself
TIP: Please do not do any ‘out of your way’ tests in Nigeria, cause it’s so expensive as rubella alone labs in Abuja were telling me between 35 and 45,000 naira.

Documents
Long and short certificate – CAD 35 & 25 respectively
Intl Canada passport – CAD 107 (hubby did go to Abuja consulate to sign a form)
Nigeria ETC – CAD 137 (includes my express post and return envelope cost). I got good service with them; I rang a few times to tell them it was real urgent as I applied for all my documents two weeks before my departure date. It took them two days to process and post back.

TIP 2: Clarification on applying long and short certificate on line.
I wish someone had told me that on the website I should just go ahead and fill out the form and pay the fees as there is no option for payment for expedited service for a new-born. I almost made an error and wasted money, but thankfully that was averted.
Pretty much what every other person has shared is the standard process for birthing in Brampton. I’ll say additional CAD 1000 for other expenses including documentation. It could be more for others, please note I stayed at a relative (so no cost for rent, feeding and Wi-Fi) and I had my phone line, so cost of that CAD 35 x four months (internet on this package was weak so you may have to get a more expensive option if you need solid internet for when you outside). Canada phone set cost CAD 80.

TIP 3: a phone line makes your ‘ubering’ experience easier.
Sorry this post is getting too long, I just wanted to put in as much as I could. I spent almost four months, and I just returned this early February. Also baby won’t get health card, expect resident in country for over 150 days. Best of Luck to other expectant mothers.[/quote]

Hi, pls which hospital and doctor did you use? Also do they accept non residents without insurance ? Pls help , I have been searching for doctors that accept patients without insurance. We also need to get accommodation as well, but we want to get a doctor first, as the doctors location will determine where we'll get the apartment
