Hi Aprill, If you joined NRMA before August (I thought it was May not sure though?) 2002 NRMA will be pay all out of pocket expenses related to the birth of your child no matter which OB you choose. This includes the anethesist (sp?). It does not include checkups. As a added bonus they also give you money to help with nappies, formula etc. The amount is worked out on how long you spent in hospital. For eg. I spent 5 days in hospital and received $150. If I had a shorter stay I would have been entitled to more. I have saved $1500 in gap fees for my son and am looking at saving $2000 for bubs delivery in November. Well worth it!
