Insurance

Congratulations!! You took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. Then you scheduled a consult and tour at our birth center. And while you visited us, we put together an estimate for your insurance coverage. Most people really don't understand how their insurance plans actually work. I mean, they understand that they have insurance but they often don't understand why they have to pay anything out of pocket or a how we come up with the estimate, so we thought we would help break this down for you.  But first: there are different ways people obtain insurance plans. Some employers include insurance plans are a benefit to working with their company. Employers will contract with different insurance companies and each employer might offer different plans to different employees, so just because you have Cigna, as an example, it doesn't mean all Cigna plans are the same. Also, some people purchase their own insurance plans directly from insurance companies or from the Marketpla

09/10/10: News! Misti passed her state exam!

Great news everyone! Misti (our midwife intern who has been with us for almost 2 years) graduated from midwifery school last month and has taken her state boards. She got the phone call on Friday letting her know that she has passed her state boards and can now apply for her license and obtain her medical malpractice insurance and begin to see clients! Misti plans on setting up her private practice in the St. Augustine area where she lives but will still 'float' with us for a while. We are happy for her and wish her well in all of her endeavors. It has been an honor to have helped shape her into the midwife she is becoming!
