If you choose to hire New Life, your care would follow a traditional appointment schedule throughout your pregnancy. Your prenatal visits will be at Trillium House. We will attend your birth either in your home (within a 30 miles radius of Trillium House) or at Trillium House Birth Center. Your newborn and postpartum care is in home for the first 2 weeks and in office until 6 weeks.
We can offer in office lab services, ultrasounds and testings. We work closely with other maternal health professionals and can promptly refer for additional needs that arise.
Our philosophy of care is built upon a women-centered approach and shared decision making. We believe that when individuals inform their intuition, and commit to research and understanding, they can unlock true strength. Through informed consent, which we see as a conversation and interaction, we will together make decisions about your care.

Each insurance company differs. If private insurance companies or share groups are going to cover the cost, it will be through reimbursement at the end of the 6 weeks postpartum visit. Individual arrangements to pay by week 34 should be made by each family. We work alongside a billing company that you can obtain a verification of benefits and filing insurance and share groups. The company charges a 10% fee of any reimbursement obtained, and no fee if no reimbursement occurs. New Life is unable to do billing outside of the company. Currently, New Life is not a Medicaid provider.
