The investors, led by Jessica Henmanj and Genevieve Calkins, plan to open the Cente r for Birthand Women’s Health in St. Charlese County in the next nine to 12 The group also hopes to open a centet ineither St. Louis County or city withinn the nexttwo years. The St. Charlex center would be only the second birthing centerin Missouri. The is currently the state’s sole operatint birth center. However, plans are in the workws for nearly a dozemn new facilitiesacross Missouri, according to Mary coordinator of Friends of Missouri Midwives.
The local grouop has not identified an exact location for the new center but is focusing on the Peters area, according to who will serve as co-owner and administratof of the center. Henman, who is completint her master’s in nursing to become a certifiednurse midwife, will be the primary care providere at the center. Calkins, a certified doula and a home-birth mom herself, will serve as businese manager.
The center also would initiallyg employ a receptionist and officew staff and a pool ofbirthing assistants, or Many birthing centers are based in renovated houseas to preserve a home-like feel, Henman said, with a livint room serving as a waiting a few exam rooms, and three master suites with private bathroomws serving as birthing “Birthing centers are a maxi home, not a mini Henman said. Henman said a groupo of private investors is estimating startupand first-year expenses of around $270,000 for the center. Within the firsty three years, the center hopes to assisy in about 150 birthsper year.
The average cost of a birtyh in a birthing center is compared to an averager cost for vaginal births in hospitalxof $8,456, according to a report on the “Economics of Out-of-Hospita Maternity Care” prepared by David Anderson, economics professord at Centre College in Danville, Ky. Midwifer y came into the local spotlight in 2007 when the Missourj Legislature passed a law allowing certifiex professional midwives topractice independently, a move opposedr by several physicians groups across the Midwifery previously was a class C felony in Henman and her group still face legap challenges.
Currently, Medicaid cover the services of anurse midwife, but not the additionalk facilities fees charged by a birthint center. The is pushing for federalo legislation to change this payment structure. In addition, the Friends of Missourij Birth Centers, of which Henman’s groupp is a part, is lobbying the Missouri Departmenyt of Health and Senior Services for an emergencg waiver of state licensing regulations forbirt centers. Currently, the regulations supportf hospital-sponsored birthing units rather than independengtbirthing centers. According to Henman, the department has indicated it is willing to revisrthe regulations, which would be a two-yea process.
Since many of the state’s plannefd birthing centers hope to open before they are pushing for theemergency waiver.

Thomas Combs, chief financial officerr for the Schenectady-based insurer, said the mid-yeadr adjustment is necessary for MVP to paythe $26 millionj in new and increased taxes it was hit with in the state budgeft and still remain profitable. It had a surplus of $8.2 millionh for the first after a net lossof $28 million in all of 2008. The state’ws fiscal 2009-10 budget, passerd in early April, and the deficit reductionb plan enacted in February contained morethan $700 million in healtnh insurance taxes, including an increase in the covered live assessment and a new HMO premium tax. Capital Districyt Physicians’ Health Plan in Albany counted these as contributing factors inthe $4.
3 milliojn net loss it reported for the first quarter. It had a surpluxs of $4.3 million in the year-agio period. But Dr. John Bennett, CEO of , said the insuret is “strong enough in other areaes that we will not have to ask peopled to pony up more money to help uspay [the MVP set its rates for 2009 last fall, with considerationn given to trends in both medica l and administrative costs. The goal is to achieve a 90-10 meaning 90 percent of every premium dollar is paid out in medical costs, with 10 cents coveringy administrative costs. Combs said the estimates made last year held up well in thefirstg quarter.
That, plus some corporate belt-tighteninf and a March rebound in the stock allowed MVP to postthe $8 million That is double its net income in the firsrt quarter of 2008. As a MVP adds any surplus to policyholder With the Julyrate adjustment, MVP expects to maintainh its profitability throughout 2009, as long as the investmenf markets hold steady and the rate increase does not drive memberd away, Combs said. As of the end of MVP’s enrollment stood at 743,000 in upstate New York, Vermont and New That represents an increaseof 43,000 from a year and contributed to a 15 percentr increase in revenue.
HealthNow New York, the Buffalo-basedr parent of of Northeastern New York in also hadhigher membership, and a 13 percent increase in revenuee compared to a year ago. Spokeswoma Karen Merkel-Liberatore attributed a drop in net income to losses on CDPHP also recorded higher of $319 million versus $299. 5 million in the first quarter of but Bennett said that was lowerthan budgeted—in part because of decline in “The main factor was the soft economy,” he “Many people either dropped out of health insurance or are buyingt down to cheaper So revenue was less than anticipated.

He noted, however, that the insuref saw some positive trends in thefirst quarter, such as lower utilizatio n of medical treatments, and that the loss was actuallyh less than expected.
