Payment Information
Retainer, Balance and Payment
A non-refundable retainer of $500 is required with the submission of paperwork to secure services for your due date; you are officially a client after the first prenatal visit. The fee is paid over the course of care with the balance due by 36 weeks, unless other arrangements have previously been made. Final statements are available after the balance is submitted. Invoices and receipts available upon request. Payment methods accepted are cash, check, credit card, FSA/HSA cards, United Medical Credit, Community Health Shares, Venmo and Paypal.
Payment Options
I believe safe midwifery care should be accessible to everyone who wishes to birth at home and I am committed to working with families to provide an option for care. A credit account is offered through United Medical Credit. A sliding scale fee is an option for families who qualify for medicaid. Additionally, bartering may also be a possibility to cover a portion of the fee.
Insurance
Midwifery care is out of network for all private insurances, as well as medicaid.
Not Included in Fee
Lab fees, ultrasounds, etc. are separate and in addition to the standard midwifery fee. Birth and postpartum doulas are separate of Abhaile Birth and Community, and require their own contract with each independent birthworker. Other fees that may be incurred over the course of your care can include services and goods provided by other practitioners (lactation consultant, pelvic floor specialist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, cranial-sacral therapist, nutritionist, herbalist, etc.). If you are planning to labor/birth in a birth pool, additional expenses can include a new potable hose, an individual liner, and other small accessories.
