BASIC BIRTH FEE:
Birth Center Delivery .........$3800.00
(there may be an additional travel fee for a home birth)
If the basic birth fee is not paid in full by your 36th week, there will an extra 15% added and we reserve the right to terminate your care. If your care is transferred past 36 weeks, no refunds will be made for any reason.
$400 of the birth fee is considered a nonrefundable deposit. If your care is transferred to another provider for a medical reason before 36 weeks, you will be charged for each service that was rendered plus the deposit. An itemized statement can be obtained upon request.
The $400 deposit is to be paid at the first initial visit when the full physical exam and lab work are done. The remaining balance should be divided out into monthly payments so that a little is paid at every visit. Of course, full payment can be made at anytime as well as balance paid off early. A $100 discount will be given if paid in full at the first initial visit. A referral bonus of $50 will be given for each client you refer to us. Referrals must give your name and follow through with their pregnancy and birth.
