Midwifery care offers a significant savings to you compared to birthing in the hospital. If your insurance does not cover home birth, midwifery fees can often be less than your deductible (out of pocket cost) in the hospital.  Family Tree Midwifery feels our cost of care reflects the individualized care and the memorable experience of your birth. In order to make midwifery care accessible to all, we have implemented fees based on a sliding scale for those who qualify based on income. If you feel like you may qualify for our sliding scale, please call and let us know and we can quote you a fee.

We accept cash, check, credit card, and private insurance. Flexible payment options available.

WHAT IS THE MIDWIFE MODEL OF CARE?

The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.

• The Midwife Model of Care, we monitor the physical, psychological and social well-being of the mother throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.
• We provide the mother with individualized education, counseling, prenatal care, and continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery and postpartum support.
• As midwives we minimize technological interventions and we know how to identify and refer women who require obstetrical attention.
• The Midwife Model of Care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
