Payment and Insurance Information
I offer flexible payment options to help families access birth and postpartum doula support with clarity and transparency.
Accepted Payment Methods
Multiple payment options are available, including:
HSA and FSA cards
Credit and debit cards
Apple Pay
Google Pay
PayPal
Klarna
Afterpay
Affirm
Flexible payment plans
Clients may select their preferred payment method, and I will ensure it is included on the invoice.
Deposits and Payment Timing
A deposit or retainer is required to reserve all doula packages and due date availability.
Birth doula services: The remaining balance is due by 37 weeks of pregnancy
Postpartum doula services: The remaining balance is due by the first scheduled shift
All fees are fixed and are not dependent on insurance reimbursement or benefit approval.
Insurance and Reimbursement Support
Many families use HSA or FSA funds for doula services, including birth and postpartum care. Some plans may require a Letter of Medical Necessity, while others do not. Requirements vary by plan and are the responsibility of the client to confirm.
For families seeking insurance reimbursement or using employer sponsored fertility or family building benefits, I provide itemized invoices to support the reimbursement process.
Clients are responsible for confirming that doula services meet their specific plan requirements. While I provide documentation and guidance, reimbursement is not guaranteed and does not impact fees owed.
TRICARE Doula Coverage
I support eligible military families using TRICARE coverage for birth doula services in accordance with current TRICARE guidelines under the Childbirth and Breastfeeding Support Demonstration.
Please note:
Eligibility must be confirmed prior to services beginning
Covered services are billed in alignment with TRICARE requirements
Clients are responsible for confirming that their TRICARE plan and birth location meet eligibility requirements. I am happy to guide families through this process and provide required documentation.
Need Help Navigating Payment Options?
If you have questions about payment methods, payment plans, insurance reimbursement, or TRICARE eligibility, I am happy to walk you through your options.
My goal is to make doula care accessible while remaining clear and transparent about expectations. I never want confusion around payment to stand in the way of support. Let’s talk through what works best for your family.
