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 encouraged.
Insurance, 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 the midwife's contracted billing service. Itemized insurance claims for the client and baby may exceed the self-pay rate. Facility fee claims for Lotus Community Birthing Center are filed separately.
Some insurance plans will cover lactation consultation and education services. Please go to https://go.lactationnetwork.com/ATXHomebirth to verify your benefits. All others are treated as self-pay and a superbly can be provided to submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement. In-home or office. 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.
Labs are billed through your insurance company. If you are uninsured, labs are billed to ATX Homebirth and payable at the time they are drawn.
Ultrasounds are billed through your insurance company. If you are uninsured, it is possible to request a "self-pay" price, or request a referral to another service provider in the community that offers a better self-pay rate. The 18-20 week anatomical ultrasound is strongly recommended to ensure baby doesn't need higher-level care at the time of birth.
