Setting your midwifery fees is all about finding that sweet spot - not too high, not too low. But what defines that, and what information do you need to determine the appropriate fees for your area?

This mini-course outlines multiply pathways to those answers, and then holds your hand through the process, with downloadable worksheets, walkthrough videos, and examples.

If you've been overwhelmed by this process in the past, this course is for you!

This course is included in BfM's All Access, along with other benefits.

Approved by MEAC for 2 hours of continuing education under approval number M2122-97- 08201DE through August 31st, 2024.

“This was such a helpful course! I just signed up with a billing service and needed to set my fees but had no real idea how and now I not only have a list of fees but a solid understanding of how each one came about. Thank you for including the additional resources and making this so easy to understand! This was the first billing course I've ever attended that was easy to follow :)”
