Experience a Holistic Approach to Childbirth with Ohio Better Birth Midwifery
While we do contract with a billing service, we cannot guarantee that your insurance will cover the costs of your out of network home birth and midwifery fees. All fees are at a discounted, early self pay rate. Your insurance may reimburse you for part or all of your midwifery services, or they may not. I offer payment plans.
