All DSHS/Medicaid health insurance starts out as Provider One. Once established, you select and/or are assigned an insurance carrier that supports DSHS called Apple Health.

• The Birthing Inn is contracted with many of the insurance carriers through DSHS; however, some companies are more supportive of out-of-hospital birth than others.
• If you do not specify an insurance carrier through DSHS, you will be assigned one automatically. This choice of insurance carrier can affect your experience. If you are using Apple Health, we suggest that you sign up with Molina or Amerigroup. These two companies are generally quite supportive of out-of-hospital births, and we have had good experiences working with them.
• Please provide your assigned carrier card when you register.
