Frequently Asked Questions
How much is it for prenatal care, birth, and postpartum care?
We charge a cash price of $4,600 USD. This is paid in monthly increments with the balance due in full by 36 weeks. This is for both home birth and birth center births.
Are you a licensed birth center?
We chose to remain unlicensed due to the strict protocols licensure requires, i.e. low BMI, head down babies, and other disqualifiers that are seen as medium-low risk.
Do you take insurance?
Insurance typically doesn't cover out of hospital birth, however, there are some insurance companies that will reimburse your care and sometimes even do a Gap Exception to cover out-of-network providers. The ones we've had success with are Health Shares, United Healthcare, and Cigna. Keep in mind, however, that you typically have to meet your deductible AND out of pocket maximum before they will cover 80% of the charge (with a Gap Exception). This usually ends up being the same or even more than our cash price, but can be applied to your deductible.
What happens if I have to transfer regarding payment?
If you transfer prior to 36 weeks, we will itemize your care and provide a refund for any overpayment. If you transfer in labor, the full fee is still due as we have provided on-call time, limited our client load, and provided labor support.
How many clients do you take per month?
We try to keep our client load low so that we can provide personalized care to each and every one of our clients. We take around 4 clients per month.
What if my baby is breech?
We are able to attempt an External Cephalic Version (ECV) with our sonographer to try to coax baby into a head down position. If your baby is stubborn or an ECV is contraindicated, Bonnie Baker has trained with Breech Without Borders and has chosen to remain unlicensed so that she can provide vaginal breech births to those who qualify. If you choose not to attempt a vaginal breech birth or ECV, you will need a cesarean.
What if I bleed after delivery?
Some blood loss after delivery is normal. We try to utilize herbs first, however, if you are bleeding more than we are comfortable with Karina Robinson is licensed and can administer the same anti-hemorrhagic medication the hospitals carry.
Do you work with doulas?
We LOVE doulas! We were both doulas for 10 years before becoming midwives and have personally seen the success and empowerment doulas are able to facilitate. We offer a $100 discount when you hire any professional doula and a $300 discount when hiring our colleagues at Davis County Doulas.
