Paying for Birth Doula Care
Private Pay, HSA/FSA, OHP(Medicaid), Student Doulas, and Gift Certificates.
Do not let the cost of Doula care stop you from getting the support you know you and your family need during the birth of your baby.
-
Private Pay
Currently, Doulas are not able to bill private commercial insurance plans directly for payment.
You would pay for your doula care upfront and upon completion of your services Doula Love can provide you a super bill that you can submit to your insurance directly in the attempt to get reimbursed.
We require 50% of your fee paid upon signing your contract and the other 50% paid by 36 weeks to secure your doula. Your contract is directly with your doula and managed by Doula Love.
-
HSA/FSA Billing
If you have an HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Finacial Savings Account) you may be able to pay directly with your HSA debit card. Contact your company to verify. Some accounts require you to pay for services in full and then submit a super bill for reimbursement. Contact your company before paying for doula services.
