Insurance Coverage/Payment Options

INSURANCE COVERAGE/PAYMENT OPTIONS

Birth & Beyond is enrolled with most insurance companies, including

• Anthem
• Oxford
• Healthnet
• Connecticare
• Community Health Network and other Medicaid plans
• Cigna
• United Healthcare
• Tricare

While these plans cover hospital birth care, not every insurance plan covers a home birth. Please call our office for further information. We offer payment plans and a sliding scale for patients who have no insurance coverage or whose care is not covered by their insurance.

Well-woman care, including annual exams, Pap testing, breast exams, preconception counseling, and family planning counseling is usually covered as a routine benefit.

Coverage for IUDs and intrauterine inseminations varies from plan to plan within the same insurer. Please call the office if you need assistance determining your coverage for a particular service.

In most cases these insurance programs fully cover the professional fees for our maternity care. Our inclusive approach includes the following:

• Prenatal care consisting of office visits every four weeks up to seven months, every two weeks up to nine months, and weekly to term.
  
  
• Labor and delivery care for the normal healthy woman at term.
  
  
• Postpartum home/hospital visits with maternity care ending at the six-week office visit.
  
  
• Newborn care at home, including physical exams and lactation support at birth and during two-week neonatal period. This also includes newborn metabolic and hearing screening.
  
  
• Accompaniment to hospital, labor support, consultation with physician, and advocacy in the event of a transfer from home.
  
  
• Hospital births at Hartford Hospital.
