WHAT DOES IT COST
What is my fee?
$5200
Why don’t I accept insurance?
Insurance pays for pregnancy care in a lump sum, known as a global fee, after the patient has delivered. Throughout a normal pregnancy, I, as the provider, would be paying out of pocket for everything the patient needs until the time the patient’s insurance sends the payment after the delivery. Unfortunately, I’m not able to do so at this time. Additionally, many women in this are carry Medicaid, which pays for ‘what is absolutely necessary’ during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. This amount is MUCH less than the actual cost of providing care and covers absolutely none of the cost of overhead. If I charged Medicaid I’d essentially be paying the patient to deliver their baby. While that is a wonderful thought, I would not be able to provide care to many women before going bankrupt.
Although I don’t accept insurance, I can provide and itemized bill after the 6th week postpartum for patients to submit to their insurance for possible reimbursement.
