CREDIT AND INSURANCE POLICY
Our global fee is $3700.00 for a vaginal delivery; $4100.00 for a cesarean section or vaginal birth after
previous C-section. An assistant surgeon is required for C-sections; that fee is $740.00. High-risk
pregnancy may have an additional charge, these conditions may include: hypertension, twins, diabetes,
excessive weight, etc.
Our office policy is that you pay the portion not covered by your insurance prior to your eighth month of
pregnancy. We will set you up on a monthly payment plan and send you statements as a reminder to
make your payment. If you do not have maternity coverage, you will need to pay 1/3 of the flat fee at
your first and monthly payments on the balance so that our fee is paid in full prior to your eighth month.
An estimate of your expected flat fee rate will be applied to your account after the first visit. This fee is
not charged to your insurance company until after you deliver. Interest will not be charged until 60 days
after delivery.
In the event that you are scheduled off-site for an ultrasound such as Valley Diagnostic Imaging you will
receive three separate bills from their office. These charges are not included in your global fee. You can
contact their office for a personalized estimate at 253-661-4750.
