Midwives Advantage's "Birth Story"
Stacy Carruth, CPM, started her midwifery education in 1992. Stacy has administered two state-licensed birth centers and attended over a thousand deliveries in the last 30 years.
Stacy contracted with every third-party insurance biller in the US to file insurance claims, and payers routinely denied birth center claims. It wasn't fair that insurance would pay for a hospital birth but refused to pay for birth centers or home births. Someone had to conquer this injustice; as a mother and a midwife, Stacy was the perfect person for this mission.
In 2009, Stacy met an attorney that won over $300M in settlements for underpaying out-of-network claims. Physicians hired him to terminate their in-network contracts because of the low-paying fee schedules. He formed Edge Medical Solutions, Inc. to submit out-of-network insurance claims for orthopedic surgeons, obstetricians, physical therapists, surgical first assistants, and family practice doctors. Shortly after they met, he negotiated out-of-network agreements for Edge Medical Solutions with several hundred insurance companies.
Stacy was the first midwife to join Edge Medical Solutions. She filed several claims for deliveries as an Edge provider, and to their surprise, extensive checks started rolling in.
Soon they incorporated his knowledge as an attorney and Stacy's knowledge as a midwife, and National Birth Centers, Inc. was born. National Birth Centers focused solely on birth center services and care provided by midwives. This business structure employed midwives as contracted providers of National Birth Centers, and payers paid claims according to the company's established agreements.
Eventually, Stacy became the sole owner and continued to grow and improve the business. Midwives and birth centers in 38 states have realized the benefits of getting paid the Midwives Advantage way!
