I
have watched my preceptors and other midwives struggle in dealing with
insurance companies. It is very frustrating, it often takes much
longer to get paid for your work, and is not worth the headache when
you finally do get paid.
I am sorry if this inconveniences anyone seeking my services.
Many insurance companies provide a way for you to submit claims
for payments that you make to care providers. If you have
insurance, you may want to check with them to see if they will
reimburse you for the expense of prenatal care and the birth.
Because I keep my practice very simple and do not accept third-party
payments, I am also a non-covered entity under HIPAA. I believe
this provides greater privacy and protection of my clients' personal
information. For more information on this topic, visit the
