Greenville Midwifery Care and Birth Center said in a Facebook post it would soon halt deliveries and transition all births to Greenville Memorial Hospital, also owned by Prisma.
“Please know this is purely a financial decision with some circumstances out of our control,” the original post read, as cited by the Greenville News. “It is not a result of poor quality or poor outcomes.”
Kacey Eichelberger, MD, vice chair of academics with the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Prisma, told the publication in a statement that “payer reimbursement limitations” led to the change.
