FAQ

What is a Midwife?

Midwives offer comprehensive care for women throughout all stages of life. They are dedicated to enhancing women's health with an evidence based approach. Their services include pregnancy and childbirth, routine gynecological check-ups, health concerns, family planning, hormone health, and menopause. Your well-being is top priority, and Midwives seek to empower women with the knowledge and care they deserve.

Can you order prescriptions or labs?

Midwives in New York are granted full practice authority by our licensing board. This means we are able to practice without the need for physician oversight. Our license allows us to write prescriptions, and order diagnostic tests such as mammograms, and ultrasounds. When needed, Midwives will collaborate with Physicians for care that is outside our scope of practice.

I am in-network with many insurance plans for gynecologic and well woman care. I also offer a cash pay price for individuals without insurance or those who have plans I do not participate with. 

I am currently enrolled with:

  • 1199

  • Aetna

  • Anthem BCBS

  • MVP

  • Tri-Care Certified

I provide prental, postpartum, labor and birth care with River & Mountain Midwives. My partner Susan and I attend community births and provide care to pregnant women as a team. Please head over to the River & Moutain Midwives website to learn more about community birth services. â€‹
