The polyclinic will then arrange for an appointment to see a gynae at KKH. To get the subsidised rate at KKH, you have to visit a polyclinic first and get the dr at the polyclinic to refer you as a subsidised patient to KKH. If you factor in the private gynae consultation rate, it would probably cost about the same as doing it at Thomson Medical. That is excluding the gynae consultation. If you search through the motherhood forum, I think the KKH Harmony test is about $800 for private patient.

For the former, it doesn’t matter come what may, and the Oscar is enough because there are risks involved in the amnio or CVS, and hence it may not be worth the risk to go for more invasive testing. It depends on if you intend to keep your baby no matter what the outcome or result is, or is considering to terminate on medical grounds if your baby is really very sick. I have been told and did my research into the Oscar test that there are many false positives. Sorry to hear that you are in this situation.
