Have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield?
Sage Springs Midwifery is still currently in-network with most Anthem Bluecross Blueshield plans. Due to low reimbursement rates, we find it necessary to bill for services which were previously included in our fee as a courtesy which Anthem does not cover. Below you will find a breakdown of the fees which will be a cost to families outside of your typical Global Maternity Fee. This does not include labs, ultrasounds, or assistant midwife fees which have always been separate fees.
My fee is due before I am available to be on-call for your birth.
(Limited payment plans available if not eligible for a United Medical Loan)
After your care is complete, you can file a claim for reimbursement.
