Fees and Payment Information
Payment arrangements are made on an individual basis and are at our discretion. Insurance reimbursement is possible in some circumstances. We do not have in-network contracts with any insurance or Medicaid; however, labs and ultrasounds can be billed through insurance if you have maternity coverage. We do not submit claims to insurance companies. We will provide an invoice with the information that you need to submit a claim to your insurance company including procedure codes, our EIN, and our NPI.
Our full fee is $8,000 and includes:
● Prenatal appointments at one of our locations (Ft. Myers or North Ft. Myers) to be scheduled every 4 weeks from 12-28 weeks, every 2 weeks from 28-36 weeks, and weekly from 36 weeks until you give birth. We will do a home visit at 36 weeks.

Refund Policy: If your care is transferred for any reason prior to 36 weeks, we will offer a refund for the amount you already paid, minus $1,000 for the Initial prenatal appt and $500 per prenatal appointment after the initial.
