Method of Payment:

Clients typically pay out-of-pocket, with many getting the fee reimbursed by their health insurance provider.  We recommend you contact your insurance company for more information on your coverage.  We will provide all necessary paperwork for you to file to your insurance company.   

New Hampshire Medicaid pays for our services minus a $300.00 birth assistant fee, for which you would be responsible.

 We cannot accept MaineCare.

We accept checks, cash, credit card via PayPal, New Hampshire Medicaid and some specific pre-arranged barter.


Refunds/Transfer of Care:

If you transfer care before labor, fees will be prorated based upon services provided to date, and a refund will be given as appropriate.  A breakdown of fees is available upon request.  If there is a transport to the hospital during labor, birth, or the immediate postpartum, no refunds will be given.
