What to Expect & Cost

Prenatal visits with Ronald Lyman, CNM tend to run longer than a typical OB appointment — often 30–60 minutes — with more time for questions, education, and shared decision-making.

  • Verify insurance coverage — confirm the midwife and planned birth setting are covered by your plan.
