Fees
There are four ways to pay for Dolphin Midwifery Services.
-
The most popular is to pay the discounted pre-paid amount of $1950,
divided into monthly payments. These are payments made in advance
of care received.
-
You can pay the pre-paid discounted amount in total at the beginning of
the pregnancy.
-
You can pay the normal fee of $2700 by the 37th week of pregnancy.
-
You can check with your insurance company to see if their policy allows
midwives. More and more are accepting midwives as they learn that
our care is, indeed, the least expensive for them.
All these payment methods require a non-refundable deposit of $350 at the
beginning of our association. (More if you do not get care until
later in your pregnancy) Credit can be given for prenatal care and
lab work already received by other health care providers as long as documents
can be made available.
You will also be required to pay $200 to the birth assistant
at the birth.
Any other expenses you might incur would be delivery at a birth center
($500), child birth classes (fees vary), a sonogram ($70), referral to
a doctor (variable), any dietary supplements for the physiological imbalances
due to pregnancy, prophylactic RhoGam if your blood is Rhesus negative,
or any other services not normally provided by a midwife.
