Home Birth Midwives
We specialize in billing for birth centers and home birth midwives across the country. This broad perspective gives us unique insights into industry trends and best practices. Our high transaction volume allows us to identify patterns that might not be apparent to an in-house biller. As a result, we can often secure results where others may fail, and we do so at a fraction of the cost of maintaining an in-house billing department.

Our Process in a Nutshell
Consider partnering with EarthSide Billing, Inc. By signing a contract with us, you'll grant us access to your electronic health records, which will significantly streamline the billing process.
Our service includes credentialing to ensure that midwives are recognized by insurance companies. This credentialing process is essential for insurance companies to accurately process claims.
To initiate the billing process, please direct any clients interested in exploring insurance reimbursement to our website to submit for a VOB. Our team will then reach out to them directly to guide them through the next steps.
Before we can provide any billing services, patients will need to submit a request for a Verification ofBenefits (VOB). This will enable us to set clear expectations and determine the most appropriate course of action. We will communicate all findings with the patient before initiating the billing process.
If families are interested in proceeding with our services, we would be happy to discuss the associated costs and outline the next steps involved.
Once we receive the required information and the invoice for billing services is paid, we will begin working. Our first step will be to apply for a GAP exception (if applicable), so that claims can be processed at the in-network level. It's important to note that GAP exceptions need to be approved before the birth, as insurance companies typically do not grant retroactive approvals. If we are unable to obtain a GAP exception, claims will be processed at the out-of-network level.
All submitted claims are diligently tracked. In the event a claim is improperly denied, we will pursue all available avenues to ensure it is processed correctly. Our team is committed to maximizing reimbursements for midwifery care when possible.
*Please note: Each claim requires careful review and thorough research to ensure accuracy. While we strive to respond promptly, this process may take a few business days.
We appreciate your patience and will provide an update as soon as possible.
The Typical Flow for Midwifery Billing

We’re Here to Guide You & Your Patients
By partnering with us, you gain access to a wealth of knowledge regarding the billing process. While we strive to manage the entire process for your patients, oftentimes insurance companies require their participation as they are the policyholders. It’s common for reimbursement to happen by the time the baby is three months old.
