This is how they started out their career together. It tells me a lot. There's something so very disturbing about this because they seem to feel they can just get away with it all.

Yes. What we found for midwifery in the state of Texas is that there are many ways to become a midwife. And it's really based off of relying on people's integrity. You're relying on the accountability of the people around you. There is documentation. The preceptor will sign off on the things that you've done throughout your training, but who's to say you actually did those things?

There's no hierarchy there. There's no one checking to make sure that you did what you said you did. The board which prosecuted her then was dissolved. So Gina's probably one of the last cases that they ever made any kind of disciplinary action on. At every point that me, Markita, or Amanda had found something, we brought it to the group.

So if anybody wanted to, those resources were there for you, not that you had to. And I always made that very clear in the post. You don't have to be on this bandwagon to bring justice to origins, but if you want to, here are your resources.

We started sharing information from an ex-employee in the group about how Origins had been stealing from patients, essentially charging them more than what they owed per their insurance and then not giving any refunds. Origins charged globally and you paid all of your fees up front. You paid what they quoted you would be charged through your insurance. And that was it.

So if you were overcharged or you paid more for certain services that you shouldn't have paid for or they messed up the billing somewhere somehow, unless you went back and looked through your verification of benefits, you went through your insurance bill and then compared it to your bill from Origins, you wouldn't know that you'd been overcharged.

In total, I paid over $3,000 to Origins, which was well over the amount that I owed them originally. the financial director for Origins Birth and Wellness. She was a placenta encapsulator. Well, she balance billed people regularly. Balance billing is typically done for out-of-network people.

Balance billing occurs when a health plan doesn't pay the full amount charged by an out-of-network provider, and the provider sends the patient a bill for the remaining amount. What essentially balanced billing is, is you're not allowed to charge a patient more than what their insurance finds them responsible for, even if it's out of network.
