Professional fees during pregnancy are offered on a sliding scale to allow families at all levels of income to benefit from one-on-one midwifery care. Excluded services, procedures, equipment, or medications are outlined in the contract for services. Payment plans are offered.
Commercial health insurance plans, health share plans, and Medicaid (Superior Healthplan STAR) are accepted. A retainer is due by 36 weeks, as insurance claims are filed after birth by our preferred billing service. A retainer for Lotus Community Birthing Center facility fee is collected and the claim is filed separately.
If you have a commercial health insurance or health share plan, we work with Napier Midwifery Billing to ensure your coverage of the provider type and location of delivery. This VOB is not a guarantee of payment. You may request an "in-network exception" prior to delivery. Go to https://napiermidwiferybilling.com/contact and select "Verification of Benefits - Maggie" to get started. If you are already in care with ATX Homebirth, we pay the fee.
Self-pay rate. For United Healthcare PPO/HMO, Aetna, Multiplan, PNOA, VA-CCN, OptumEast, Meridian, or First Health, please go to https://go.lactationnetwork.com/ATXHomebirth to verify your benefits. For Cigna plans, go to https://portal.wildflowerhealth.net/affiliate-care/9986d8e.
A travel surcharge may be assessed for in-home visits.
These fees are due and payable to the vendor or service provider based on their policies.
This homebirth kit is purchased by you in the third trimester from "In His Hands", which has been supplying home birthing families for decades. Your midwife has a personalized birth kit from this company she will share with you.
We use Clinical Pathology Laboratories. For self-pay clients, payment is made to ATX Homebirth at the time labs are performed. For all other clients, labs are billed directly to your insurance company by CPL.
This elective ultrasound is done between 6-13 weeks. You will get up to four prints and access to electronic images of your baby.
