Maternity Package Program

As part of Allianz Care Australia’s commitment to improving the lives of our members and offering increased choice and options for care, we are delighted to offer a private maternity package for Allianz Care Australia – Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) members.  The model, delivered by One for Women, a pioneer and leading provider of private maternity services in Perth, will operate for an initial period during 2022.

The Maternity Package Program offers members the option of experiencing a private team-based Maternity Package and private hospital birthing experience while having minimal ‘out-of-pocket’ costs.

To be eligible to participate, Allianz Care Australia OSHC members need to:

• Live in Perth or surrounding areas
• Have served any pregnancy waiting periods under the OSHC policy (if required)
• Be assessed by the team at One for Women as presenting with a low-risk pregnancy. Unfortunately, members presenting with one or more of the following conditions are not covered under the model: multiple pregnancies; BMI >40; maternal age >40years; some pre-existing medical conditions; or previous complex obstetric history

The Perth based Maternity Package pilot will cover most costs associated with the member's pregnancy, including:

• Maternity Package from One for Women (available from as early as four weeks in a pregnancy), which includes GP, Midwife and Obstetrician appointments
• Also included in the maternity package is postpartum care following birth and additional benefits such as birthing classes and Mums & Bubs group during the first five weeks after birth.
• Accommodation and birthing charges at either St John of God - Mt Lawley Hospital or St John of God - Murdoch Hospital
• Standard ultrasounds and blood-tests during your pregnancy up to 85% of the MBS fee

There are some costs that will be payable by the member during the program. These include:

• Any ‘out of pocket fees’ payable for anaesthetics, paediatrics and intensive specialist fees (if required and charged above the MBS fee for the birth);
• Ancillary hospital costs such as pay television or internet access charges
• Lactation consultations or allied health treatment with fees above 85% of the MBS fee or not covered under the MBS.
