Insurance
Lynden Birth Center accepts most insurances, including Apple Health/Medicaid (Molina, CHPW, etc).
Many insurances provide coverage for freestanding birth centers in Washington State.
Questions about coverage?
1. Ask your midwife: If you have established care with a midwife, as part of your first appointment, you provided her with your insurance information, which she has sent to her medical biller (often this person is Ingrid at Island Billing, see below). Ingrid runs your benefits and then sends a benefit statement to your midwife, usually takes 3-4 weeks after your initial visit. So, your midwife may have that information. You can ask her at your next appointment.
2. Contact Ingrid at Island Billing directly:
