Comprehensive Prenatal, Birthing Services, and Postpartum Care
Prenatal care, birthing services, and postpartum care with East End Midwifery Services is a comprehensive model that allows for intimate care from beginning to end. We look forward to developing a relationship with you and your support team to build trust leading up to your birthing time.
Embarking on a journey to home birth is one that involves a holistic approach to prenatal care; not only ticking the boxes with regards to blood work, sonograms and visits but including the emotional and psycho-social support it often requires to be free to birth and subsequently parent in an empowered way.
Learn more about home birth by visiting our FAQ page and Media Resources page. Contact Michele with our Preliminary Questionnaire.
Testimonials
“Michele has caught both of my babies and I literally cannot imagine anyone better for the job. She’s basically part of our family now, and the level of care she has given us is beyond what we’ve experienced in any traditional medical setting. If I could give her ten stars, I would.”

Fees
Retainer Fee: $2000 out of pocket
Total Fee: Price Upon Request
Your out-of-pocket retainer fee secures your place in the practice and covers expenses related directly to your individualized care.
If you come into care with EEMS (regardless of your gestational age at the time) you can expect a minimum out-of-pocket fee of $2000, this is accepted in separate payments of $1000 dollars at initiation of care and again in your third trimester, prior to 36 weeks gestational age.
Because we are out-of-network with all insurance carriers we operate utilizing balanced billing. With the help of a 3rd party billing service, we submit to your insurance for a global care fee. Depending upon the rate at which your insurance carrier reimburses, you are responsible for ensuring that EEMS receives the agreed upon fee for services, which can be quoted during a Meet and Greet. If your insurance reimburses at or above previously agreed fees and you have paid the retainer in full, your financial obligations are complete. If your insurance carrier reimburses below the agreed sum, you are responsible to make up the difference.
Typically your insurance company forwards you the reimbursement check and you then sign it over to EEMS or write a new check directly to us. Occasionally insurance companies reimburse at a higher rate than is typical for home birth. All reimbursement from your insurance provider is to be paid directly to EEMS regardless of the amount.
