Delivery done by BAMS doctor
Wife is 30 weeks pregnant. She wishes to have her delivery at her parents location. Until now we were seeing MBBS, MD Gynaecologist but now due to change in location,she is seeing a registered BAMS doctor who is prescribing allopathic medication. I have a few questions
1. Is a registered BAMS doctor authorised to prescribe regular allopathic medicine during pregnancy like multivitamins etc which are generally prescribed by modern medicine practitioners.
2. Is a registered BAMS doctor authorised to conduct deliveries. Like few BAMS doctors in collaboration with MBBS doctors open hospitals and conduct regular deliveries.
3. Importantly insurance claims be accepted by the company , provided the documents like prescriptions, patient file,medical notes, discharge slip and all other documents will be signed and stamped by the BAMS doctor.
Please guide.

BAMS doctors are not authorised by law to prescribe allopathic medicines or conduct deliveries. It's better to consult a gynecologist as some complications can develop in the third trimester of an otherwise uneventful pregnancy.

BAMS is not allowed to prescribe allopathic medicine.
Claiming insurance may be difficult
BAMS can conduct delivery but can be associated with risk due to limited knowledge.
