All About Birth, LLC

We've all been affected by the results of rising inflation and it's a big challenge!

Did you know that the insurance industry has not changed the rate at which they pay for at least 15 years! Meanwhile the cost of taking care and the extra requirements the midwife must meet have gone up exponentially. Unfortunately we now are at a crossroads where we must ask our clients to help pay for the unanticipated costs associated with providing individualized care. Thank you for understanding and our goal is to be able to continue providing this type of individualized care for years to come.

The $600.00 non-insurance covered booking/service fee will be due at your first initial appointment. We believe in equal access to all! If you cannot pay this fee at your initial visit please contact our front desk (253)761-8939 to discuss your payment options.

This fee supports:

• 24/7/365 on-call access to your midwife( the on call, standard of care is 36 weeks - 6 weeks post-partum) we are reachable throughout your care.
• Appointment times lasting from 30 minutes to 1 hour with collaborative, personalized, decision making which is beyond the time considered payable for routine care by most insurance carriers.
• Holistic, natural based approach to health and wellness
• Individualized Care (freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives)
• Educational materials
• Referral support during antepartum/labor/birth/postpartum, as needed
• Enhanced newborn and postpartum care
• Rising administration costs insurance companies refuse to recognize and reimburse (including Apple Care)

You and your family deserve and benefit, from the time and attention, characteristic of the midwifery model of care that has been demonstrated to improve outcomes and increase birth satisfaction.

We welcome you to make a complimentary appointment to see if our care is right for you and your family.
