What is the cost?
The fee for use of our birthing suites and the fee for the care you
receive from your provider are separate. The
facility fee to have your baby at BellaNatal Birthing Suites is $1000. We
do not accept insurance or Medicaid. Contact your provider for the fee he
or she will charge for your maternity care services.
Do you have insurance?
Many people think using their insurance is the least expensive way to
have a baby, but it may not be true. Depending on your deductible and
co-insurance amounts, it may be much more affordable to deliver at
BellaNatal Birthing Suites than to use your insurance at the hospital. Here
is an example of the out-of-pocket costs for a natural (no epidural)
delivery at a Utah County hospital with insurance that has a $1500
deductible and and 80/20 co-pay (meaning the insurance pays 80% of costs
after the deductible is satisfied) vs. a natural birth at BellaNatal

These hospital figures are an estimate only (but based on actual hospital
reported charges), because unfortunately, when you birth in hospital there
will be many fees you cannot predict. At BellaNatal Birthing Suites, your
fee is always the same. There are no surprises.
