Patient's question:
I am 12 weeks pregnant and have not had any prenatal check-ups yet. My friend said that there are many items in prenatal check-ups, not all of which are half-price, and many are covered by the public fund. I would like to ask, which items in prenatal check-ups are half-price? Can the items covered by the public fund be pre-paid by medical insurance?Doctor's answer:
For prenatal examination items, it is relatively rare to find discounts of half price. Currently, some places offer half-price for detailed Down syndrome screening. If you have maternity insurance, there are usually more discounted items available, such as half-price for 2-3 ultrasound examinations, half-price blood tests, electrocardiograms, half-price for 2-3 prenatal examinations, fetal heart monitoring, etc. For publicly funded projects, most cannot be pre-paid with medical insurance at outpatient clinics. Currently, at 12 weeks of pregnancy, an NT examination is required. Specific discounted items can be followed according to the advice of local doctors.
