Programme
Network One Maternity
A bundled, team-based maternity programme. You deliver care at the top of your scope. We carry the rest.
The problem we fix
Why the status quo does not work.
Private maternity is built around the solo doctor, billed fee-for-service and paid by volume. One obstetrician carries every call, every admin task and every low-risk visit a midwife could lead. Care is fragmented and the price is unpredictable.
What changes for the patient
The pathway.
- The mother is booked between weeks 8 and 12, with her risk stratified at the first visit.
- Low-risk care is midwife-led, with specialist review when it is needed, on written criteria.
- She delivers with the team at the partner hospital, then has postnatal care to six weeks, including a Pap smear through ColpoCare.
- It is one agreed price for the whole episode, not an open-ended fee-for-service bill.
What changes for you
The clinician's experience.
- You keep your own practice. A midwife filter means you see only the patients who need an obstetrician.
- Call is pooled and rostered, not open-ended. That means real time off.
- Booking, billing, authorisations and scheme follow-up are handled for you. Fewer unpaid after-hours messages.
- You are paid for the care you deliver, not for referrals.
Your role, at the top of your scope
One team, each doing what only they should.
Every role is right-sized. You work at the top of your scope, and you escalate or hand over on clear, written criteria.
Obstetrician / gynaecologist
Leads the team and the complex decisions. Keeps a private practice for major surgery and high-risk obstetrics.
Midwife
Leads low-risk continuity of care. Escalates on clear criteria and stays in the loop.
General practitioner
Delivers shared low-risk antenatal care in scheduled sessions. Paid for the care, not for referring.
Medical officer
A structured role across the pathway, with routine caesareans under supervision. Not ad hoc locum work.
Anaesthetist
Obstetric anaesthesia cover. Cover, not clinics.
Sonographer
Scheduled scanning lists. Findings flow to the team within a day.
Clinical associate
A supervised core-team role, with a development pathway.
Care coordinator
The human thread. Education, navigation and postnatal support.
Paediatrician
Newborn cover. Bills directly, outside the bundle.
Referring doctor
Refers in, stays informed at set points, gets the patient back. We do not pay for referrals, but delegated clinical work is paid.
Full per-discipline detail is on the provider network portal.
How you participate
No capital. No infrastructure to fund.
There is no capital to put in and no rooms or admin to fund yourself. We start fee-for-service and graduate to a structured model: a retainer for the lead obstetrician, recognising governance and leadership, and sessional fees for the other disciplines and grades. Fees are benchmarked to a recognised medical-scheme rate and adapted to each site. You are paid for the work you do, and we talk the detail through with you before anything is signed.
What is expected of you
The standing asks.
- Active professional registration and indemnity, notified on onboarding.
- Attendance and an active role in the multidisciplinary team.
- Records in the designated EMR within 24 hours.
Why it is credible
We have run this since 2022, across more than one site, measuring maternal and neonatal outcomes against defined standards.
