Birthing Center at Bellevue hospital ? Anyone know much about this? I have called the hospital and a Midwife said she would call me back, but no word yet. I took the tour of Roosevelt's Birthing Center, but unfortunately my insurance Healthfirst Medicaid does not work there. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I delivered at Bellevue's Birth Center in Aug. 2007...the midwives are fantastic...rooms are large with jacuzzis. They definitely accept Medicaid, PCAP. Its difficult to get anyone there on the phone...instead go to Bellevue's Women's Health unit, 4th floor, 4C and ask to speak to a midwife, or ask when they are scheduling tours of the Birthing Center. Alternately, you could just go up to the 9th floor, if you go left off the elevator you are headed toward L&D, if you go right you are headed toward Birth Center. See if anyone if there and if you could have a look around. The downside of Bellevue's BC is that currently they have a nursing shortage and so the BC is not always open. If you went into labor and it wasn't open, you'd deliver in L&D with a midwife and birth center protocols. Alternately, you could also consider homebirth...as I know there are some midwives that take medicaid. [ Reply | More
