Your care with Texas Midwives Group

The midwives at Texas Midwives Group are health care professionals licensed by the State of Texas for complete pregnancy care, to include pregnancy, birth, post partum and newborn care.  If a situation arises that requires the assistance of a doctor, a referral to a physician that is midwife-friendly can be made.  Monthly prenatal visit are made for your complete pregnancy, with the last month of pregnancy being on an “as needed” basis.  During your post partum time, there will be two home visits and a scheduled 2 week and 6 week office visit.  You may also schedule a pap smear between eight and twelve weeks post partum.  Midwives are licensed to care for your newborn for the first six weeks of life.  The midwives of Texas Midwives Group are also very knowledgeable in breastfeeding assistance, nutrition, and newborn care.


Office Visits

Our two locations in the Stone Oak area in San Antonio and in Schertz make it convenient for families in the San Antonio Metro area to receive quality prenatal care.  Many couples begin with a consultation with the midwives.  Here they can get the answers to any questions they have about home birth as well as prenatal care.  When a family chooses Texas Midwives Group as their caregivers, their visits will be monthly throughout their entire pregnancy.  The first visit will consist of a blood test, urinalysis, personal and family medical history, blood pressure, baby’s heart tones (generally can be heard after 12 weeks gestation), and contract and other paperwork to include financial responsibility.  After that visit, the monthly prenatal visits will be to monitor the health of the mother and baby with urinalysis, mom’s blood pressure, baby’s heart tones, height of the uterus, and answer any questions that may come up.

Insurance Filing Information

Clients with private health insurance are required to pay a deductible and co-pay during the course of prenatal care. Following the delivery of the baby, Texas Midwives Group will file an electronic or paper claim with the insurance company. The amount of your out-of-pocket liability will be determined after a consultation with the midwife. After the insurance company pays the midwife for healthcare services, any remaining portion will be billed to the individual. Many times the member is able to negotiate an in-network exception with their insurance company to reduce their out-of-pocket payments. The billing agent will help with this process. Occasionally when a pregnant woman calls her insurance company, they will inform her that they do not pay for licensed midwives’ services. In Texas, with the exception of HMOs, all insurance companies that pay for maternity benefits will pay for a licensed midwife.
