How do I work with you?
You will need to fill out an application form here, and I will contact you within 10 business days, unless you are having a miscarriage, in which case you will call
Are You Accepting New Clients?
Yes—always! I welcome new clients if the circumstances are appropriate. Although I work with only one Comprehensive Midwife Care Client a month, my post-partum practice, miscarriage management practice, and virtual care practice are ever-expanding.
Where is do you see clients?
If you live within an hour of Seattle, you are in the zone of care.
What are virtual prenatal visits like?
Each appointment is 60 minutes, which you can use in its entirety or shorten based on your needs. This ensures you have ample opportunity to explore your questions and concerns and any education offered, leaving you with a sense of assurance and joy about your journey.
We are able to prescribe specific medical equipment to monitor blood pressure, weight gain, blood glucose levels, and even fetal heart tones at home for members who live in rural or urban care deserts or have a specific need.
Furthermore, we order ultrasounds, lab work, and most diagnostic tests with your closest Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics Lab, eliminating the stress of visiting multiple locations.
What can I expect to pay for my care?
To understand the financial aspects of your care, you must refer to the fee schedule on the home page under each service. It clearly outlines the costs associated with different care packages and visits.
This schedule fosters a sense of predictability regarding your out-of-pocket expenses. Notably, some visits may be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance as out-of-network services. Still, this option is unavailable for those enrolled in Medicaid, but if you are experiencing financial hardship and feel this is the direction you want to go in, please explain in the application what you feel you can afford.
Do You Offer Doula Support?
It’s important to note that we do not offer doula services directly. However, we can certainly provide you with recommendations for experienced doulas in your local community. This personalized support can be invaluable during your birthing experience.
Where will I go to get my lab tests?
I will do all blood draws in-home. We collaborate with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics to meet your lab requirements. These organizations maintain facilities across the nation, ensuring accessibility. If a more complex screen is needed, I will send you to the lab closest to your home. If you need an ultrasound, I will send the order to your preferred location.
Is the clinic reachable outside office hours?
Absolutely! We offer support around the clock, every day of the week, for my clients. Each client is entitled to four complimentary 24/7 triage calls each month; afterward, each additional call incurs a 35$ fee.
Are Your Services covered by insurance?
We collaborate with all insurance companies, functioning out-of-network. This arrangement can be quite beneficial for you.
Here’s how it works: You’ll pay for your visits up front, and then our billing specialist will handle the claim by filing a superbill with your insurance provider. The insurance provider will reimburse you for the out-of-network percentage, which typically ranges from 60% to 80% of the visit's cost. Often, this leads to a more favorable rate than what you might see with in-network providers, benefiting both of us
I work with CareCredit, which can help pay for services. I also accept payments for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). I understand that navigating insurance can be perplexing, and I am more than willing to address any questions you might have. Feel free to reach out via email at brooke@ovasanctum.com.
Can I use my HSA or FSA for Services?
Yes you can use your HSA and FSA card to pay online for all of my services.
What do I need to do before my appointment?
Once you purchase your chosen Curated Care Package I will send you instructions on how to prepare for your initial visit with me.
Can I give Curated Midwife Packages as a gift?
