Pricing & Billing Options

We welcome everyone to our holistic, evidenced based birthing center.  We are bilingual in Spanish/ English.  We are VBAC friendly. We support waterbirths, home births, and birthing center births. Birthing Centers and homebirths are not always covered by all insurances even when the company states that it is. Everyone's policy differs.   We are unable to accept insurance. 

We accept checks, cash, Zelle or credit card.  (There is a 2%  to 5% fee for CC/ debit card charged by the CC company.)  If you have insurance we will write a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company after your birth so you can request reimbursement.   

The Natural Birthing Center expects your entire birth package to be paid in full before you deliver by 32 weeks. There are no surprise fee's after delivery and no extra charges for acompannying you to the hospital in the rare circumstance that happens.  It is important to know the hospital  or an ambulance is a separate entity and they will bill separately from the Natural Birthing Center.  It can not be predicted who may need a transport in labor for either the health of mother or infant.

We are honest and upfront with the cost.  We do not want you to be hit with an unexpected bill by us.  We believe in finding you the most value for your money.  The cost of delivery at the Birthing Center includes prenatal visits, basic pregnancy labs, birth, post delivery stabilization for mother and baby and 3 post delivery visits.  We sign a contract for $5200.00.  There are some medications or extra labs that an individual person may require, we talk about those and discuss pricing so that nothing is unexpected.  For instance about 15% of clients may need a medication called Rhogam, the cost for one dose is $100-115 currently.  $5200 is the basic estimated price.   

While we do not file insurance, the following have paid a portion of the cost associated with a birth center or home birth: 

Christian Healthcare Ministries

Samaritan Ministries

Medishare (out of network- but works well with midwives)

Liberty Health Share- pay up front, they reimburse after delivery

Zion health share

For insurance, you  may submit a superbill  to your insurance after your delivery for reimbursement. 

A person may complain to The Office of Attorney General  consumer protections if they feel they have been billed incorrectly.  When you pay a midwife, you are paying for her time, expertise, and the expenses of running a birthing center or office (rent, supplies, electricity etc.). There are no refunds.

If the bill is not paid by 32 weeks you will recieve a notice of dismisal from the practice. We can not provide labor support if the bill is not paid.  We may file a request or action for a 3rd party bill collection to assist us with payments. I am thankful we have never had to do this.

If you have questions regarding payment or your insurance, please contact us.   We travel to surrounding areas for homebirths:   Tyler,  Jarrell, Georgetown, Salado,  Leander, Round Rock , Cedar Park,  North Austin .  We offer choice:  home birth  or  birthcenter   midwife
