INSURANCE:

All insurance plans in NY State are required by law to cover midwifery services.

At this time, Bluebird is accepting insurance as payment for clinical care from GHI PPO, and BCBS PPO & EPO. Please call your insurance company to clarify benefits. There may be other fees involved for non-clinical care by the midwife.

If you have insurance coverage other than those listed, it may be possible for insurance to cover services if you have out-of-network benefits. Usually out-of-network benefits cover 70-80% of your bill minus any deductible you have. Lab work, sonograms, genetic testing and hospital fees are covered by most plans on an in-network basis, even if your care providers are out-of-network. Contact your insurance company for more information and verification of out-of-network benefits.

FEES:
The fee for pregnancy care is $7000. The fee for an initial gyn visit is $200, and the fee for a follow-up annual gyn exam is $150. Payment is due at the time of service for all gyn clients. There is a fee schedule for prenatal clients. If you have questions about financial issues please call or email Catherine.
