Frequently Asked Questions
Can clients claim my fees on insurance?
Some insurance companies do provide coverage for doula,
childbirth class or counseling fees as part of their health
insurance package
Because of the improved outcomes that a birth professional
can lead to, and the subsequent lower costs, there are
insurance companies who provide coverage for these fees. If
a client's insurance company does not include birth
professionals as one of the services they can claim for, the
client may like to write to the insurance company, quoting
the improved outcomes and cost savings.
An insurance company will usually require an invoice
issued by the birth professional to the clients. They may also require specific
information to be included - the client can find out what is necessary
by contacting the insurance company directly.
"Having such experienced doulas to discuss all sorts
of birth topics was great! I now feel confident & prepared
to perform my tasks as a labor doula because of this course.
Thanks to you all!" Jeanne, Alabama
