Our Story
Built by a midwife. Designed for midwives. Backed by experience.
A Midwife’s Mission Becomes a Movement
Stacy Lewis Carruth, CPM, began her midwifery career in 1992. Over the last three decades, she has administered two licensed birth centers and attended hundreds of births—gaining firsthand experience in both clinical care and healthcare administration.
"Families choosing licensed midwives were denied insurance coverage for out-of-hospital birth, while those choosing physicians and hospitals were covered."
As both a mother and a midwife, Stacy committed to righting this wrong.
The Turning Point
In 2009, Stacy met a pioneering attorney who had recovered over $300 million for healthcare providers. Together they launched Edge Medical Solutions, Inc., a billing firm that helped physicians and specialists escape underpaying insurance contracts. Stacy became the first midwife to join—and her reimbursements improved immediately.
National Birth Centers, Inc. Is Born
Blending legal expertise and midwifery knowledge, they founded National Birth Centers, Inc., a company solely focused on midwives and birth centers. Through this structure, midwives became contracted providers and benefited from existing payer agreements—finally gaining fair access to insurance payments.
