Who pays for the Perinatal Navigator Services?
In many cases, Perinatal Navigator services are covered by private health insurance. We recommend reaching out to your insurance provider to inquire whether your plan includes coverage for Social Work, Social Service Work, or Personal Support Worker services.
For families without private insurance or those who do not have adequate coverage, we offer a sliding scale and grants to help offset the cost of Navigator services and other perinatal-related services. Please note that for financial assistance, there is an application and approval process in place to ensure that support is provided to those who qualify. This ensures that support remains accessible to those in need, regardless of financial situation.
