My wife tried to give birth here around 8 months ago - our experience was not positive. The initial intake was great but the experience on the day of labor was lacking. Nurses weren’t trained it appeared and place is very disorganized. My recommendation is to go with Piedmont if you have an option.

Woah, I don't even know where to begin. The intake process is tedious and stressful. It's like pulling at teeth to talk to humans about important matters. When you finally speak to a live person, they are lacking in understanding. I attended orientation early July and still have not been seen by anyone.

Amazing experience, love all the midwives I got to meet...Nicole and Vanessa ♥️♥️♥️♥️ took great care of me through it all. The care was exceptional and if I had another baby, this is where I’d receive my care. They made me feel great at every visit.

Can’t recommend the birth center enough. My wife and I felt seen, heard, and protected throughout the course of our pregnancy, labor, and delivery! We love the ABC and the amazing midwives who work there. 5 Stars without a doubt.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

JaCoria Lollis | Feb 2, 2022

No you have to switch over to amerigroup but it's still medicaid, they fill up pretty quick so go on their site and register for the orientation on Tuesdays bc you have to start with that to have care there

We currently accept Amerigroup.

How much does it cost to give birth here?

Nani | Oct 31, 2019
Atlanta Birth Center | Oct 31, 2019

Hi Nani, that totally depends on your insurance coverage. Some people pay $0, others may have a deductible and co-insurance owed. If you have no insurance, our Billing Manager will help you create a time of service or financial hardship agreement. Each client will have a detailed estimate given to them by the Billing Manager before they schedule an initial visit. ~Dr. Sam We are accepting Amerigroup patients.

Because there is a lot of variation in insurance and important considerations in the event of a hospital transfer, each potential client should explore with them directly.

I was told that you guys are now in network with peach state Medicaid? And also do I get the option to have my baby vaccine free?

Ashlee witcher | Oct 30, 2021
Atlanta Birth Center | Oct 30, 2021

Hi Ashlee - Thank you for your inquiry. We are in-network with Amerigroup but have recently paused on accepting Amerigroup clients until a billing issue is resolved from their end. We anticipate that resolving soon and will be able to resume accepting Amerigroup. Regarding vaccines, please feel free to give us a call directly at (404) 474-2770, so we can better understand what you mean by vaccine free so we can provide you with the most accurate information.

At the moment, we are not in network with Peach State, but we are in network with Amerigroup. We continue to explore the possibility with Peach State.

Do you all accept Alabama residents I have 2 types of insurance and am really interested in a water & lotus birth, is this hospital an option for me? I'm currently 26 weeks

Aalisha Young | Oct 30, 2021
Atlanta Birth Center | Oct 30, 2021

Hi Aalisha, I'm happy to answer these questions. We are a birth center, not a hospital, and yes we offer water and lotus birth for our clients. We do have families that travel from Alabama to be clients of ours. Unfortunately, at your current weeks' gestation, we would not be able to have you join our practice because we are full for your due month. For future pregnancies, we recommend you reach out right away when you know you're pregnant to start our intake process.

I am so sorry you're having a difficult time at your current practice. We have Zoom orientations weekly that are required of all incoming clients before beginning care. You can find the dates and times (ABC Orientation/Meet the Midwives) on our website events calendar or Facebook events tab.

Do you all accept patients who have had high blood pressure in previous pregnancy? Not preeclampsia but I think my blood pressure would rise whenever I went to the hospital because the doctors made me nervous... an

Hathor Mason | Oct 30, 2020
Atlanta Birth Center | Oct 30, 2020

BP from a previous pregnancy is not in and of itself a disqualification. But if you did experience high BPs in *this* pregnancy, you may not qualify to continue prenatal care and birth with us, depending on your unique circumstances. Hope that helps! Come to an ABC Tour or Meet the Midwives to learn more!

I'm considering giving birth here at ABC. And i love everything about the facility so far! I've heard of some being turned away due to their BMI, is this a risk factor for you all?

Amber | Oct 30, 2020
Atlanta Birth Center | Oct 30, 2020

Not in and of itself. If there are other complicating health factors, a person may not qualify, but there will be a clinical intake process that will determine that up front before you schedule an initial visit. =) ~Dr. Sam

Heather Kidd | Oct 30, 2020
