Is there a payment plan available?
Yes!
Are there services that aren't covered in the midwifery care package?
Since all care is customized to your individual needs, there may be some additional expenses. These may include:
-
Additional ultrasounds. $160 for an anatomy scan follow-up or 41-week biophysical profile and $85 for gender, dating or wellness. Those fees are payable directly to the ultrasound provider. If your insurance will cover your ultrasound at an approved facility we are happy to write an order so that you have full coverage and a lower out of pocket fee for these services. -
Rhogam for Rh- negative clients. About $155 per injection. This may also be covered by insurance. -
Expanded lab work. -
Consultations and/or appointments with other providers.
What is the difference between a midwife and a doula?
Midwives are primary healthcare providers for low-risk clients and newborns. They are trained to provide holistic care throughout the childbearing years; particularly pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. They are trained to recognize complications and coordinate care with higher level providers when necessary, as well as to perform certain emergency measures if complications arrise.
