Perth   Hello, I seem to remember that poeple on this list have done the ground work in regards to health funds covering homebirths and private midwifery services. Does anyone know of one that covers these services and if so how much do they cover? Alternatively has anyone had any luck negotiating with their current provider for this type of cover. (I am with medibank private) I am not pregnant but as I am sure waiting periods apply I am trying to keep my options open.  Cheers Rochelle.
