Sunrise Midwifery charges a package fee of $3500 for gloabl midwifery care during pregnancy and birth.
Cash clients pay $3000 by 36 weeks gestation, and the remaining $500 by 6 weeks postpartum. Clients with private insurance pay their estimated portion of the service package fee, and insurance is billed after the birth. The $200 birth assistant fee is required at your first prenatal visit after the initial consult, and is included in the service package fee. Payment plans are available; please see the Financial Agreement for more details. I also accept credit card payments HERE.
The package fee includes routine visits with the midwife (prenatal and postpartum, including blood draws), midwife and assistant attendance at your labor and birth, use of the birth tub and lending library, direct access to your midwife at all hours, nutritional counseling, and discounts on herbal remedies. The package does not include a $150 travel fee if you are outside of the Tri-Cities/Yakima/Goldendale area, and your birth kit (approx. $85). There may be additional fees for extra services required.
I recognize that $3500 is a large sum for most families. However, I feel that clients will commeasurably benefit from the quality of care, direct access to their midwife, the absence of facility fees, and the control of their own health care dollars. Additionally, my billing service assists my clients in obtaining maximum reimbursement from their insurance company for the birth fees. I am happy to discuss your particular needs and find the best alternative for you.
Washington state insurance (DSHS, Molina, Medicaid open coupon) is accepted and welcome.
I am not contracted with any private insurance companies, but in the state of Washington most policies are required by law to reimburse for licensed birth services. A professional billing service will bill your insurance for you; the amount of reimbursement varies by policy.
Insurance (including Medicaid) does not cover the $200 birth assistant fee, out-of-area mileage charge if applicable, or the birth kit. Check your policy for coverage of labwork and ultrasounds.
