Midwifery Care Cost
Our Signature Home Birth Care
We believe good midwifery care is about more than the birth itself. It's built through the relationships formed during pregnancy, the steady presence of a skilled midwife during labor, and the continued support that helps families find their footing in the early days of parenthood.
Our intentionally small practice allows us to offer unrushed visits and individualized guidance throughout your journey. From clinical care to the little comforts that make you feel at home, every part of your care is approached with attention and intention.
Your care includes:
Hour-long prenatal visits with time for questions and conversation
Routine prenatal lab work drawn as part of your care, with testing billed separately at cost
Ultrasound coordination and referrals to help you access recommended imaging throughout pregnancy
24/7 on-call midwifery support
Skilled, attentive midwifery care throughout labor and birth at home
Birth tub rental featuring the Tubina Wild Solo Milky Tub
A home visit within 24–48 hours after birth, followed by two- and six-week postpartum office visits
Newborn assessment and breastfeeding support
A dedicated visit with our IBCLC for personalized lactation support
Homemade nourishment and thoughtful touches throughout your care
Community enrichment events and motherhood circles that offer opportunities for connection beyond your individual visits
We want you to feel informed, supported, and cared for as you prepare to welcome your baby and settle into life together.
First Trimester Support
With this package, you secure peace of mind from the very start. Early access to essential lab work and screenings means your health and your baby’s health are monitored immediately.
Planned Hospital Birth
If you’re planning a hospital birth near DeLand, a licensed midwife can still guide you through a holistic, personalized, and more natural approach to pregnancy and birth.
FAQ
-
We absolutely accept payment plans. You have the option to pay in full (preferred) or make payments over the course of care (from the date of hire to 34 weeks)
A deposit of $1000 will be due at the first scheduled prenatal visit and will secure your spot on our calendar.
Our deposits are non-refundable, as they hold your place in our care calendar and allow us to protect the small caseload that keeps our care personalized.
-
For reimbursement purposes only.
Every policy has different benefits and different pay schedules, so we collect our fees upfront, then we refer you to a medical biller to determine your specific insurance benefits and submitting a claim for the best possible reimbursement after your birth.As fully licensed and insured medical providers, you are likely to have our services applied to your deductible at minimum. To find out what your insurance plan will cover you can call your insurance representative and ask what your coverage is for an out of network provider providing home birth services and midwifery care.
And here's some good news: Florida statutes require that "any policy of health insurance which provides coverage for maternity care must also cover the services of certified nurse-midwives and midwives licensed pursuant to chapter 467, and the services of birth centers licensed under ss. 383.30-383.332." This includes our midwives, who are licensed under chapter 467.Healthshare plans, such as Samaritain, Christian Health Share and Zion, cover midwifery services extremely well! Check them out!!

If you have questions about what’s included or want help deciding whether an outside service is necessary, we’ll review your options with you and ensure your care remains safe, coordinated, and aligned with your birth preferences.

*All clients receive a birthing-time home visit at 37 weeks and their first postpartum visit as part of their care package.
At Full Circle Midwifery, we want midwifery care to be accessible to everyone, which is challenging in our patchwork system of health insurance, insufficient coverage for out-of-hospital midwives, and poor insurance reimbursement for care providers.
Because we value more accessible midwifery care in our communities, we offer payment plans, discounts, sliding fee scale, connect you to an experienced out-of-hospital insurance claims specialist for possible reimbursement, and we are open to many kinds of trade or barter for care.
We also value and respect the deep level of time, energy, care, love, support, and commitment that we put into our work as midwives.
