Cost of epidural in private hospital

[slin]

Hi,

Can someone share the cost of epidural in private hospital (specifically sanatorium, matilda and adventist) ? From the price list, it ranges from 6-8k, wondering if this cover the anesthetist fees?

Many thanks.

No the price quoted is only for the drug and doesn't include Dr's fees. You'll need to ask your Dr if he uses a particular anesthetist and find out his fees. I paid $16K at the Adventist - it was a Sunday and was in a private room. Remember friends paid about $6-8K at the Matilda.
