Global Fee for Midwifery Care
$5000.00
The midwife accepts cash, check, credit cards, cash app, HSA cards
Military discount and other possible discounts are available
Full fee is expected to be paid by 37 weeks gestation. As an out of network provider I am not permitted to file with insurance until after the birth occurs. Insurance takes 30 to 60 days to process. We never know whether insurance will pay or not or what they will pay. For this reason, I must collect my fee by 37 weeks. Once and if insurance reimburses, the client will be reimbursed the amount that insurance decided to pay towards the claim.
