The nurse-midwives
at Beyond Birth Midwifery Care, LLC (Beyond Birth) perform
a thorough assessment of the mom and new  baby
in the comfort of home. Our visit will offer the
opportunity to identify and treat common maternal
and newborn problems during a time when they might
otherwise go unnoticed.
We will work closely
with your providers so that you can have all of
the support you need without leaving home. Beyond Birth
will optimize the baby’s introduction to
the world and the mother’s recovery after
birth. We provide a holistic perspective and a
wealth of information to all members of the family
to assure a healthy start.
Clients of Beyond Birth
Midwifery Care can expect a comprehensive exam
for both the recently delivered mother and newborn
baby. Our exams will screen for common maternal
problems such as postpartum depression, high
blood pressure, and infection of either vaginal
lacerations or cesarean section wounds. The newborn
exam will screen for common newborn problems
such as jaundice, dehydration and poor weight
gain.
 In
addition, the nurse-midwives at Beyond Birth assist with
breastfeeding, providing instruction on appropriate
latch, milk production and breast comfort.
Families can expect
a better understanding of infant development which
will assist in calming fussy babies and meeting
general needs of the newborn.
Finally, our nurse-midwives
are experts in the Boulder health care community
and can refer you to a variety of resources
to meet the needs of the entire family during
the delicate transition from hospital to home.

 Beyond
Birth Midwifery Care is a Limited Liability Company
providing postpartum home visits by Certified
Nurse Midwives. Our visits, which offer a professional
assessment of both the new mom and the new baby,
are done on a fee for service basis. We will generate
a superbill with appropriate coding which can
be submitted to your insurance company.
Reimbursement will
vary depending on your benefits, so check with
your own carrier. A referral from both your obstetric
and pediatric providers will be necessary in order
to have both visits reimbursed; but a referral
is not necessary in order to take advantage of
our services.
Read about our policies here. Our fees are as follows:
Comprehensive Exams:
For both mother and baby = $180
For mom only = $100
For baby only = $100
Revisit exams are prorated
at $180/hour in 20 minute increments.
Prices include travel
to homes inside Boulder city limits. Mileage reimbursement
for locations outside the city of Boulder will
be billed at $0.43/mile.
If you can't be there to care for your favorite new mom and baby, a gift certificate for a comprehensive or a follow up exam is the perfect gesture of support. These make wonderful baby shower and newborn gifts, too!
We offer gift certificates in any amount. Please email us or call 303-447-7174 for details and delivery.
