The physicians at Toms River Ob-Gyn practice medicine as a team with a rotating on-call schedule. Your prenatal visits will be arranged so that you will meet all the doctors and they will be able to become acquainted with you as well. If you need to contact the office, please call during our usual business hours Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at (732) 2449444. If you have an obstetrical emergency and are less than twenty (20) weeks pregnant, then go to the nearest emergency room. If you are twenty (20) or more weeks pregnant and are in labor or have an emergency, then go to the hospital’s labor and delivery suite. Community Medical Center’s labor and delivery is located on the fifth (5th) floor of the hospital. Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates endeavors to provide emergency and obstetrical services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to our patients. Although most of this coverage is provided by the practitioners at Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates, it is occasionally necessary to have other healthcare providers outside of this practice be available for emergencies. Usually, your routine prenatal appointments will be arranged at approximately four-week intervals for the first seven months of your pregnancy. After that, you may be seen every two weeks and during the last month, at least every week. You may need to see the doctor during your pregnancy for problems outside of your routine prenatal care. You may be responsible for your co-pay in these instances. Our patients are delivered at Community Medical Center, Toms River, NJ. You should contact the hospital for their fees and charges, and also check with your insurance company for their coverage. Certain medical specialists on staff at the hospital, such as neonatologists (newborn pediatric specialists) or anesthesiologists, may be needed to care for either yourself or your newborn infant during your hospital stay. Some of these specialists may not participate in your insurance plan, and you may be responsible for their entire bill. At present, the hospital has contracted with a group of neonatologists, ON-SITE, who are pediatricians who work specifically under contract with the hospital. These doctors may be present at your delivery, whether by Cesarean or vaginal. It is understood that these doctors will accept your insurance and will not balance bill you. Any questions regarding this should be discussed with the hospital finance department (Tel 732 557 2550). Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates accepts no responsibility for any bills incurred by doctors, hospitals, laboratories, x-ray facilities or other medical providers outside of its practice. It is recommended that you take a tour of the maternal-child facility at Community Medical Center at some point during your pregnancy in order to become acquainted. Please contact the hospital at 732 557 8034 for more information on tours. Preregistration for the hospital can be done over the telephone by calling the Financial Clearance Center at Community Medical Center at 732 557-2550 or by obtaining a pre-admission form from out office and sending it to the hospital admitting office. Please note that our doctors perform tubal ligations at the time of delivery only for women undergoing Cesarean sections. All other patients who wish to have surgical sterilization are asked to discuss with their doctor when the best time for sterilization would be. Routine services provided by Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates are listed below. For a listing of our current fees, please contact the billing office. Routine care during office hours, during pregnancy Uncomplicated delivery Postpartum care in the hospital following delivery Postpartum visits in the office, 6 weeks after vaginal delivery and 2 weeks and 6 weeks after Cesarean section Services not included in our obstetrical fees: Laboratory work and Pap smears Medications Special tests and procedures in office or hospital Other surgeries Non-routine visits in the office Medical problems not related to pregnancy Emergency room visits Anesthesia for Labor & Delivery Newborns care, including pediatrician and neonatologist Community Medical Center charges expectant parents letter/revised june 18, 2011 1 9 We will submit claim forms to the insurance companies that we participate with for routine prenatal,delivery, and postpartum care that we provide. If any other services are provided, the claims will be submitted as the charges are incurred. If you do not have insurance, we will require a monetary deposit, starting with your initial care. The remainder of the fee has to be paid in full prior to your estimated date of delivery. If you leave our care prior to your delivery, you will be charged for your office visits and any other care provided by us up until that time. Please feel free to contact our office about any questions you may have regarding our fees. Other responsibilities: Please note that most insurance companies require notification for scheduled or emergency hospital admissions. It is your responsibility to notify your insurance company directly. Failure to do so may result in decreased benefits from your insurance company, and possibly cause increased financial responsibility on your part. It is customary to have a two-day stay following a vaginal delivery, and a four-day stay following a Cesarean section. Please contact your insurance company to determine the number of days allowed under your health plan. Insurance companies vary regarding notification of delivery. It is your responsibility to supply them with this information. If Home Health Care is needed after a delivery, please check with your insurance plan to see if it is a covered benefit. Disability: Disability tends to vary for each individual pregnancy. Many women prefer to work up until their due date. Please obtain your disability form from your place of work and bring it to the office to be completed. If you require special disability consideration, please discuss this with the doctor. Our ultimate goal is to provide you with good obstetrical care, and the delivery of a healthy newborn. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do for you, and always feel free to ask questions. I certify that I have read or had read to me the contents of this form; I have had the opportunity to ask any questions which I had and all of my questions have been answered. I have also filled out all of the pre-natal forms given to me (pages 1-10) to the best of my knowledge and received a copy of all of them.

Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates endeavors to provide emergency and obstetrical services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to our patients. Although most of this coverage is provided by the practitioners at Toms River Ob–Gyn Associates, it is occasionally necessary to have other healthcare providers outside of this practice be available for emergencies. 2. If you are twenty (20) or more weeks pregnant and are in labor or have an emergency, then go to the hospital’s labor and delivery suite. Community Medical Center’s labor and delivery is located on the fifth floor of the hospital. It is recommended that you take a tour of the facility beforehand to become acquainted. Please contact the hospital at 732 557 8034 for more information on tours. Pre-registration for the hospital can be done over the telephone by calling the Financial Clearance Center at Community Medical Center at 732 557-2550. 3. In order to help your doctors evaluate and assure the well-being of your baby, it is important that you monitor your baby’s movements. Your baby will usually start to move (flutters) between the 16th and 20th week of your pregnancy (around the 4th month). Movement tells you that your baby is healthy and growing. A simple way to monitor your baby’s activity is by the “kick count.” When the baby is normally active, say for example, after a meal, count the number of times that the baby moves in a one hour period of time. Usually, there may be 5 to10 or more movements or kicks during that time. Learn YOUR baby’s typical “times of movement and sleep time.” Movement should continue right up to the time of delivery. If your baby’s movements suddenly change or stop, call your doctor right away! REMEMBER, not one day should pass without you feeling your baby move. 4. Please observe the following guidelines Sexual relations should be discontinued during the pregnancy if you have had any bleeding, pain, or cramping, or the doctor has advised you to abstain. Do not travel further than one hour away from the hospital during the last month of pregnancy. 5. You need to be evaluated If you suspect that you are starting labor First baby: contractions approximately every 5 minutes for 1 to 2 hours Second or more babies: contractions approximately every 10 minutes for 1 hour If you suspect that your membranes have ruptured and you are leaking fluid If you are having vaginal bleeding like a period If you do not feel your baby moving as much as usual 6. You, or your baby, may require the in-hospital services of an anesthesiologist or neonatologist. These specialists might not participate in your insurance plan and you may be directly responsible for their fees. If you have any questions concerning this, then you should contact the hospital for further information. 7. A vaginal culture for Group B Strep bacteria may be performed by your physician at approximately 36 weeks gestation. This bacteria is usually harmless but may cause an infection of mother or infant a the time of labor. Any pregnant woman diagnosed with Group B Strep may need antibiotics at the time of delivery. It is important that you are aware of the results so that you may inform the nursing staff on Labor and Delivery at the time that you go to the hospital. 8. Visiting Hours: A maximum of three designated support persons are allowed by the hospital for visitation on Labor and Delivery. For the Women’s Health Unit on floors 5E and 5F visiting hours are from Noon-8 pm daily: one person may stay overnight in the patient’s room at her request; Siblings and children 14 years and older may visit from noon to 8 pm. Daily. instructions for pregnancy/revised june 18,2011 3 TOMS RIVER OB-GYN ASSOCIATES 9 OBSTETRICAL FINANCIAL POLICY PATIENT NAME________________________________________________________________Date_____/_____/_____ In consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates, its physicians and employees, I hereby authorize my health care insurer(s) to pay Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates P.A. directly for covered services. Obstetric patients may incur fees for services rendered during their pregnancy that may not be covered under global payments by their insurance companies. Ultrasounds or sonograms, non-stress tests, biophysical profiles, certain laboratory tests and hospital visits, in-patient and out-patient problem visits related or unrelated to pregnancy and other services outside of general obstetrical appointments with your physician may be billed separately. You may be financially responsible for such services. I accept sole responsibility for all charges incurred as a result of services rendered, and agree to pay amounts not covered by my insurers, including Medicare if applicable. These amounts normally are due and payable at the time that services are rendered. If my insurance requires a co-pay, I agree to submit this fee to Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates at the time of my visit. For your convenience, our office accepts Visa, Mastercard, checks and cash.

This is a doctor who is especially trained to detect problems during the pregnancy and to care for problem pregnancies. These doctors employ a variety of techniques that may be useful in determining that you have a healthy baby and pregnancy. Perinatologists provide a variety of services for the pregnant patient which may include, but not be limited to, the items listed below. I should be noted that the doctors at Toms River Ob-Gyn do not do genetic counseling, anatomy scans that check for fetal abnormalities, integrated screening, CVS testing or amniocentesis. To have any of these tests or procedures, the patient must discuss them with a perinatologist. A list of local perinatologists ,for your convenience, has been provided. The doctors at Toms River do not endorse any particular perinatologist and you should decide yourself which one you will make an appointment with. Consultation: a discussion of your pregnancy, possible risk factors, and testing that may be needed. Level II Sonogram: This is an ultrasound of the baby that evaluates the anatomy of the fetus. The test is usually performed around 18 to 22 weeks pregnancy. Fetal structures evaluated include the heart, brain, kidneys, spine, intestines, and other parts of the body Integrated screening: A blood test and early ultrasound to check the fat pad on the back of the baby’s neck is performed at ten to fourteen weeks pregnancy. Combined with another blood test at around 16 weeks pregnancy and with a Level II ultrasound at 18 to 22 weeks pregnancy, the integrated screening will evaluate for Down’s syndrome and other disorders of the fetus. Integrated screening is recommended for all of our pregnant patients. It is important that you schedule an appointment as soon as you possibly can with the perinatologist so that you may take advantage of this important test. CVS testing: This is a biopsy taken of placental tissue inside the uterus to screen for Down’s syndrome and other chromosomal disorders. Amniocentesis: Fluid surrounding the fetus is tested for chromosome defects including Down’s syndrome. This test is usually done between 16 and 20 weeks Dr. Charles Hux 2130 Highway 35, Bldg A, Suite 123 Seagirt, N.J. 08750 Tel 732 449-9900 Premier Perinatal Dr.Carlos Fernandez 1416 Hooper Avenue, Suite 1 Toms River, N.J. 08753 Tel 732 736-0300 Fax 732 736-9600 Dr. Joseph Canterino Dr. Paul Matta Dr. Michael Muench Dr. Miriam Modestin Dr. Carlos Benito Jersey Shore Perinatal Institute 1944 State Highway 33, Suite 203 Neptune, N.J. 07753 732 776 4755 Obstetric Medicine Service Dr. Michael Carson Brandywine Commons, Route 33 Neptune, NJ 07753 732 897 3990 *evaluates medical problems in pregnancy Dr. Nisha Malik Dr. David Wallace Dr. David Gonzalez Dr. William MacMillan Dr. Carl Nath Monmouth Medical Group 73 South Bath Avenue Long Branch, N.J. 07740 732 870-3600 Fax 732 870-0119 Lakewood Office 1 Route 70 West Lakewood, N.J. 08701 732 901-0211 Fax 732 901-0199 I have read the above information and have been counseled by my doctor concerning the tests that are available by perinatologists to evaluate my pregnancy and the health of my fetus or unborn child. I understand that to be counseled for or to have these tests done I must make an appointment with a perinatologist myself. I understand that the perinatologist will discuss genetic counseling, integrated screening, Level II anatomy ultrasound scanning, amniocentesis, and CVS testing as it may apply to me. As your doctors caring for your pregnancy, we recommend strongly that all of our pregnant patients make an appointment to see a perinatologist. I certify that I have read or had read to me the contents of this form; I have had the opportunity to ask any questions which I had and all of my questions have been answered. SIGNATURE OF PATIENT___________________________________________________________DATE_____/_____/_____ PRINTED NAME OF PATIENT________________________________________________________DOB_____/_____/_____ PHYSICIAN_______________________________________________________________________Witness______________ Note: This is only a partial list of doctors who specialize in perinatology or high risk obstetrics. There are many other doctors in this field and you may want to use a doctor not found on this list. The addresses and telephone numbers on this list may change so please check the telephone directory to confirm them before contacting the doctor. Please call your insurance company to see if the doctor that you have selected participates in your insurance. Make an appointment with the doctor that you have selected. If you require a referral by your insurance company, please notify our office after you have made the appointment so that we can obtain the referral . perinatologist list/revised june 18, 2011 5 TOMS RIVER OB-GYN ASSOCIATES 9 PATIENT NAME_______________________________________________DOB_____/_____/_____ CONSENT FOR HIV BLOOD TEST I have been informed by the doctor that my blood should be tested in order to detect whether or not I have antibodies in my blood to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The reason for the test is to see if I am positive for HIV during my pregnancy. A positive HIV test will mean that my baby and I will need, during my pregnancy, special care and treatment that may decrease the chances of my baby becoming infected. The test results, in some cases, may indicate that a person has the antibodies to the HIV virus, when the person actually does not (a false positive test). The test may also fail to detect that a person has antibodies to the virus, when the person actually does ( a false negative test). A positive HIV test does not mean that I have AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), and that in order to diagnose AIDS, other tests would have to be used, in addition to this test. I have been informed that if I have any questions regarding the nature of the blood test, the significance of its results, and the possible effects of a record of a positive test, I may ask those questions before deciding as to whether or not to submit to the blood test. Further, I have been advised as to the availability of anonymous testing. CONSENT FOR OBSTETRICAL ULTRASOUND You will be advised to have one or more ultrasound tests during your pregnancy. In this test, sound waves are sent through your abdomen (belly) and are reflected back to form pictures. This test is not a treatment for any condition, but is done for the purpose of diagnosis or testing only. Information from the test may help the doctor manage your pregnancy more successfully. Obstetrical ultrasound is commonly used to estimate the size and maturity of the baby as well as the possibility of more than one baby, or an abnormality being present. It is possible that a defect or problem may be falsely reported or not detected at all by obstetrical ultrasound. Because of these facts, your doctor can make no guarantee as to the accuracy of the test. Obstetrical ultrasound is considered to be a reasonably accurate method for diagnosis and an aid to the management of pregnancy. Although obstetrical ultrasound has no known complications, the long term effect of ultrasound on tissues of the mother or baby is unknown. There may be alternatives to this procedure available to you. However, these alternative methods carry their own risks of complications and have varying degrees of success. Therefore, in those women in whom obstetrical ultrasound is indicated, this test may provide the best chance of successful diagnosis with the lowest risk of complications. CONSENT FOR AFP TETRA SCREENING You will be offered a blood test, when you are approximately 16 (sixteen) weeks pregnant, known as an Alpha-Fetoprotein Tetra Screen. This test measures four different chemicals in your body. The amount of these chemicals, plus your age, weight, and weeks of pregnancy, are then calculated to give a number, or AFP Tetra result. If the result is out of the normal range, this may indicate that your baby may be at a higher risk of having a chromosome abnormality, such as Down’s syndrome, or of having a spinal defect. In addition, a result out of the normal range may indicate that your pregnancy is at higher risk for other complications. An AFP Tetra result may be out of the normal range, and yet nothing at all be wrong with your baby. On the other hand, an AFP Tetra result may be within normal range, but your baby may still have some abnormality. In other words, an AFP Tetra result within the normal range is still no guarantee that there is no abnormality of the baby. The AFP Tetra screen test is used mainly to help the doctor identify which mothers or babies are at higher risk. If your AFP Tetra test is out of the normal range, or if you are 35 years old or older at your estimated date of delivery, or for other indications, you will be offered further testing to determine if any abnormalities may actually be present. By not having the AFP Tetra test, your doctor may not be able to identify if you are at increased risk for certain abnormalities. This could result in missing some abnormality that could adversely affect your pregnancy. I consent for HIV testing: I decline HIV testing I consent for ultrasound: I decline ultrasound testing I consent for AFP tetra testing: I decline AFP tetra testing I certify that I have read or had read to me the contents of this form; I have had the opportunity to ask any questions which I had and all of my questions have been answered.

You will be responsible for bringing the cord blood collection kit to the hospital when you are going to deliver. Your obstetrician will have to use the kit to collect the umbilical cord blood at the time of delivery. Although your obstetrician will attempt to collect umbilical cord blood for you at the time of the delivery, there can be no guarantee that blood may be obtained. Furthermore, Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates can make no guarantees and shall be held blameless regarding the collection, storage, transport, and any future uses or claims regarding the cord blood. Toms River Ob-Gyn Associates requires a collection fee of $200.00 (Two Hundred Dollars) for this service. Full payment of this fee is required three months prior to the anticipated date of delivery.
