As a further condition to receiving ultrasound services from Oh, hey baby! you hereby acknowledge, understand and agree to the following statements: 

  • This ultrasound: (i) is an elective procedure that I have voluntarily requested, and (ii) is not intended to take the place of a diagnostic ultrasound or any other test or treatment that has been or may be recommended by your healthcare provider.
  • Because of its elective nature, this ultrasound is not covered by medicare or any private health cover. You acknowledge payment is required in full for the ultrasound on the day. 
  • Any printed photos are chosen by the ultrasound technician, who will pick the best images to print after your session. 
  • The technician who performs this ultrasound, while trained to provide such ultrasound services, is not a doctor, nurse or healthcare provider, and cannot interpret, diagnose medical conditions from, or otherwise offer medical conclusions regarding the images produced.

However, we promise to make every effort to obtain the best images. If we are unable to get a good image of your baby we have still provided the service of the 3D/4D Ultrasound thus we will not provide a refund after a complimentary rescan.
