NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. If the birth process is transferred to a medical facility during labor, Lilac City Midwifery will still provide follow up postpartum care as long as it is within our scope of practice. Lilac City Midwifery does not offer hospital birth support in the case of a transfer of care to a hospital setting. It is recommended that clients wishing to ensure hospital birth support secure a doula for such a scenario. Because Lilac City Midwifery only accepts a limited amount of due dates per month, securing your due date on their calendar prohibits them from accepting other clients into care and therefore no refund will be given outside of the normal payment schedule. **The only scenario in which it may be possible for a refund to be given is if a client pays ahead of schedule. For instance, if a client pays the entire fee upon returning the signed contract and care is discontinued at some point prior to the outlined payment schedule. The amount of the refund will depend on the payment option chosen by the client, how many visits were made, what tests were conducted, what services were rendered by Lilac City Midwifery and the exact amount of money paid by the client. If a client pays the entire fee ahead of schedule and care is discontinued after 36 weeks, NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. Not only will Prenatal Care have been given, the birth team is on call for the client and spaces in our calendars have been set-aside for the birth and postpartum visits; precluding the birth team from engaging other clients. Lilac City Midwifery reserves the rights to decline further care in the event of non-payment within agreed upon terms, the midwife’s assessment of client medical or psychological condition(s), or because of noncompliant/uncooperative actions on the part of one parent or both. Please discuss any concerns regarding this issue with Lilac City Midwifery.
