Planning Your Care
Questions to Bring to the Care Team
Because care at Birth Haven is individual, these are questions to raise with the care team rather than fixed criteria. They can help you prepare for a tour or a first conversation, especially when traveling to New Hampshire from Northern Massachusetts.
- Travel for visits: How will I get to prenatal visits, the birth, and postpartum visits at the Salem, NH location, and what support will I need for that travel?
- Individual eligibility: Given my health history and circumstances, is birth center care an option I can consider, and how is eligibility reviewed?
- Insurance and cost: How does my individual insurance plan apply to an out-of-network provider in New Hampshire, and what should I ask about coverage and out-of-pocket cost?
- Backup plans: What would my care plan look like if a transfer to hospital care became needed, and how is that preparedness handled?
No Obligation
Meet the Team and Tour the Center
