Fee Structure & Chart Review

MAIA's fees are calculated to include three months of chart review. As a MAIA client, you have the option of faxing, mailing, or emailing your charts and questions to us for the midwive's review during her weekly chart review. This is a complimentary service for three months after your initial pre-conception consultation. After the first three months, it is necessary to book a follow-up consultation every three months in order to continue with this service. Should you choose not to book a consultation three months after your initial consultation, there will be a fee for each chart reviewed until another consultation is made, when you will again receive three months of complimentary chart review.

Clients will make best use of MAIA's services by having consultations every three months, as information offered during chart review builds on insights gathered from your initial consultation and current charts being reviewed. Reconnecting through a consultation will keep you and your unique needs fresh in the midwive's mind. This can be as brief as a 15 minute phone chat to a more formal office visit. At MAIA, we feel that continuity is important. Keeping regular consultations and utilizing the complimentary chart review services will increase your chances of getting pregnant quickly, ultimately reducing your over-all costs.

As a MAIA client, you also have the option of paging the midwives when they are in town if you have an urgent question outside of a consultation. There is a fee for this service, and she will return pages as she is able.

MAIA is commited to making our services accesible to all. Payment plans and other forms of financial assistance are available for low-income families.
