Ways to Pay
We want to make this work for you. While insurance doesn't cover our services directly (they may cover some outside labs), we offer:
* Flexible Payment Plans: Tailored to your budget.
* Finance Options: Use CareCredit or PayPal (heads up: extra fees may apply).
* HSA/FSA: We happily accept these!
* Bartering: Have a skill like plumbing, carpentry, or professional services? Let’s chat about a trade.
The Fine Print (Extra Costs)
* Third-Party Fees: Labs, ultrasounds, genetic testing, and newborn screens are separate costs.
* Birth Assistant: Birth isn’t a one-person job. This adds a trained assistant to your birth for extra support, safety, and peace of mind.
* Travel: If you live 30+ miles away, a $250 travel fee plus mileage ($0.25/mile) applies. Flights/lodging are required for long-distance births.
* Future Births: Your rate stays the same for future births with us unless your income changes or the cost of supplies goes up.
