Fee Schedules and Insurance Information

We have three payment options available. We do not participate in any plans at the present time, but will accept your insurance as payment in most cases. (The few exceptions can be discussed with our office manager Connie Carnes. Feel free to call her at 212-366-4699.)

(Includes all prenatal visits, labor and delivery care, postpartum hospital visits, and a six-week postpartum examination.)

Option 1: Client pays fee in full before delivery. ($500 initial visit, $1500 due by 20th week, $1500 due by 28th week, $1500 due by 36th week.)

Option 2: We will accept assignment from your insurance company. However a $500 deposit will be due at your first visit.

Option 3: We will see patients on a per visit basis if you do not plan to deliver in New York. The fee is $300 for the initial visit and $175 for each subsequent visit.

Gyn Care:

First visit $250 (1 hour, complete history and physical exam)
Subsequent yearly check-ups $135

Any insurance company registered to provide obstetrical insurance coverage in the State of New York must, by law, provide coverage for midwifery services. Clients who are members of HMO's and PPO's which provide out of plan services have the option of using our practice.

Fee Schedule

A $500 deposit is due at the initial visit. This is partially refundable if you move or must leave our care for another legitimate reason.

Laboratory fees, sonograms, amniocentesis, circumcision, etc. are separate fees and may or may not be billed directly to the insurance carrier, depending on the policy coverage. If the back-up physician is directly involved in your care, he or she will bill you separately for their service.

If you are unsure of the information provided by your insurance carrier, please call the State Insurance Commissioner's office in Albany, NY. Often, insurance representatives are unaware of midwifery services, and present misinformation regarding coverage.
