Do you take insurance? Which plans?

We are currently accepting PPO plans from the following insurance companies: Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, and HealthNet, as well as some local networks. In Berkeley, we accept HMO plans via Brown & Toland (now called Altais). In the South Bay, we accept HMO plans via SCCIPA. We also accept some plans offered by Medi-Cal via Alameda Alliance for Health (AAH).

We know insurance can be confusing and would be happy to look up your plan to confirm coverage or point you to in-network options if you are considering switching plans. Write to us at berkeleysupport@millieclinic.com (if you want to visit our Berkeley clinic) or sanjosesupport@millieclinic.com (if you want to visit our South Bay clinic).

What will I pay for my maternity care?

All your clinical appointments at Millie, lab tests, ultrasounds, and labor and delivery experience at Alta Bates Hospital (Berkeley) or Good Samaritan Hospital (South Bay) are billed to your insurance.

We also offer in-network lactation services. We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid.

We do not charge anything extra for the Millie app, remote monitoring devices (e.g. blood pressure cuff), or group sessions and messaging with your Millie Guide — a practice-embedded doula who supports Millie patients with birth and postpartum planning, helpful local resources (e.g. birth doulas, acupuncture, pelvic floor physical therapy), and the many questions that come up as you navigate pregnancy. 

Consultations for supportive care like educational classes and workshops, postpartum groups, therapy and nutrition are currently not covered by insurance and are paid out of pocket (they may be HSA/FSA eligible depending on your plan).

Are wraparound support services covered by insurance?

In-clinic lactation appointments are billed to your insurance. The rest of our wraparound support services are not covered at this time, but you can often use your HSA/FSA to pay for your session. We can also provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network coverage benefits if available.

Can I use my HSA or FSA for wraparound support services?

Depending on your plan benefits, you can often use your HSA/FSA card to pay online or submit a superbill for reimbursement.

I really need Millie’s services but need flexibility on payment terms. Is that possible?

We are committed to making better care accessible for all.
