At Hampstead Medical, we offer comprehensive Shared Care Maternity Provider services, combining the expertise of your trusted GP with the specialised support of leading hospitals and healthcare professionals. This collaborative approach ensures a smooth and healthy transition into childbirth with continuous care and expert guidance every step of the way.
Shared care maternity allows you to receive regular check-ups with your GP while benefiting from the specialised expertise of obstetricians and midwives for more complex aspects of your pregnancy. At Hampstead Medical, your GP will monitor your overall health, conduct routine check-ups, and provide support and advice for common pregnancy concerns. When additional care is needed, we collaborate with expert obstetricians and midwives from leading hospitals, including Royal Women’s Hospital, Joan Kirner at Sunshine Hospital, and Mercy Hospital.
This ensures that you have both the convenience of seeing your trusted GP and the specialised care needed for a healthy and safe pregnancy, all while keeping you informed and supported throughout your pregnancy journey.
At Hampstead Medical, we believe in providing the best possible care for expectant mothers. Under the care of Dr. Cecile Arcena, a qualified Shared Care Maternity Provider, you’ll receive personalised, compassionate care tailored to your unique needs throughout your pregnancy. Dr. Arcena works closely with renowned hospitals such as Royal Women’s Hospital, Joan Kirner at Sunshine Hospital, and Mercy Hospital, ensuring that you have access to top-tier obstetric care whenever needed.
Yes, Shared Care is eligible for Medicare rebates. Routine visits to your GP for pregnancy check-ups are rebatable by Medicare, which helps to reduce the costs of your ongoing maternity care. However, visits to specialist obstetricians or midwives may be billed separately. We recommend confirming the specifics of Medicare coverage for these specialist visits with your healthcare providers.
