[quote=Anonymous]OP, the best way to find out if your insurance will cover your homebirth is to have a conversation directly with the midwife. Usually when you call the insurance company, the staff person will say "no, we don't cover homebirths" but then when you discuss with the midwife, you might find that she has successfully billed that insurance company in the past. Depending on who you are hiring (by the way, which midwife/s are you thinking of hiring?) you might have to pay upfront, and then the midwife bills the insurance company after the birth. Again, NEVER rely on the insurance company to be able to tell you if they will cover your homebirth. The people who answer the phones honestly don't know, so they usually just say no. In my experience, several of the local CNM's who provide homebirths have successfully billed BCBS. Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS on choosing the safest and gentlest way to have your baby![/quote]
