Self Pay Options

At this time, we are not in-network with any commercial insurances. As a small business, we have found that the majority of midwifery services do not get credentialed and paid. For this reason, we offer self-pay pricing with different payment plans! We accept cash/check, Zelle, credit/debit cards (3.5% fee), HSA cards (3.5% fee), and Venmo (3.5% fee).

We can refer you to a billing company that will help you get reimbursed for the money you pay to us if you have insurance or Medicaid. They charge a small percentage once the insurance company has paid.
