While Wombkeepers does not provide homebirth, our physician does offer collaborative care for patients of local homebirth midwives in order to allow for better continuity of care, help homebirth patients obtain needed testing during pregnancy and after delivery, and help make homebirth options safer with easier, calmer transfers to hospital, when needed. Homebirth patients can have greater peace of mind knowing that they have a secure back-up plan with a physician who is familiar with their medical and obstetrics history, will communicate with their midwifery team, and shares a holistic, low intervention philosophy. Some of the services we offer to patients planning to deliver at home include:
Back-up with Dr. Aristizabal for hospital transfer to HonorHealth Shea or HonorHealth Sonoran.
Requires registration and enrollment during your pregnancy, ideally well before a transfer of care is needed
For patients with in-network insurance, physician's fees are billed to your insurance
For patients with an out-of-network insurance or cash pay patients, please see our "outside midwifery patient fee schedule." Prepayment or deposit required for enrollment in care.
All patients are charged a $250 adminstrative fee, in addition to the professional fees billed
