Payment Schedule

We accept all major credit cards or you may set up an interest-free  cash or check payment plan.

To obtain an early payment discount, we require professional fees to be paid in full prior to 36 weeks.

Many of our patients receive reimbursement from their healthcare coverage. 

If your insurance is likely to pay for our services, you may be eligible to only pay co-pays and deductibles prior to your birth.

 

Do the math

Your insurance company refuses to cover a birth center birth, but will pay 80% for hospital care. The cost for a normal vaginal birth is about $15,000 in the hospital (with 30% of women "needing"cesarean sections which jacks the cost up to $30,000). Your 20% responsibility will be $3000-6000. It may be a savings to hire midwives and pay out of pocket! It may also be prevention for unnecessary cesarean sections.
