Payment Options

Insurance
Local HMOs such as Quartz, GHC, Dean and Physicians Plus do not cover home birth midwives. Some other companies may and if so, I’m happy to support you in seeking reimbursement from your private insurance and can provide you any documentation needed.  

BadgerCare
BadgerCare covers home birth midwives. Woo hoo!  I gladly accept Badgercare and ask for $950 out of pocket for the things I cannot bill for, including an assistant at birth.  

HSA/FSA Accounts & Healthshares
Health Savings and Flex Savings Accounts generally pay for part or all of home birth midwifery services.  Healthshares and ministries generally pay for all services, and I’m happy to provide the documentation necessary.

Payment Plans
Flexible payment plans are always available! No deposit is required when we begin working together.
