Belly to Cradle, LLC DBA BloomWell invests thorough time and consideration into our Client care. We are a specialty service, and considered “out-of-network” with all insurance companies. We will obtain insurance verification prior to providing care so that you can estimate your out-of-pocket costs and plan to make payments on your total fee using cash, check, debit/credit, or our financing affiliate. Once your baby is born, we will file your claim with your insurance company, and provide you with a refund for all or part of your paid fees as soon as your insurance company sends us payment for the services we have provided. If you are using a medical co-op, documentation for your care can be supplied so that you can confirm payment ahead of time from your co-op provider.
