As a postpartum doula, do you take insurance?

      This is a great question and one I get asked often. I'd like to start out by saying doulas are not medically trained unless they have additional medical training. With that being the case I do not "take" insurance. What I can do is write up an invoice for my clients generally stating the services I provided (leaving out any housework) and they can send that invoice over to their insurance company to see if they can get reimbursed. I will always work with my clients to do what I can to make postpartum care the most attainable for everyone. When hiring a doula and going through insurance please notice that no matter how long it takes for you to reimbursed your doula must still be paid on time per your agreement. It is not the doulas responsibility to submit the claim or go through insurance on your behalf. It can be an overwhelming process hiring a doula for the first time because there are so many unknowns but there are also so many unknowns when having a newborn for the first time and it's so amazing having someone in your village to rely on and ask all of those questions to while being properly supported. Everyone deserves the proper support during postpartum and I am here for you. Please reach out with any questions, comments or concerns.


Thank you!
