Are doulas covered by insurance?
I am not part of any insurance plan, I do not bill insurance. I only accept private pay. Check with your provider and see what is covered under your maternity package.
Many private insurance companies do not cover doula care, or they require a DONA certified doula and billing. I am certified as a doula through Common Sense Childbirth Institute.
Medicaid covers doula care, look into Healthy Start Coalition and The Doula Network for more details if you are covered by Medicaid.
I am currently accepting self pay to cover my fees. I serve Polk County areas.
How many visits do we have?
How many visits do we have?
3 Prenatal Visits (60-90 minutes each)
In person Labor and Birth Support
2 Postpartum Visits 2 days (48 hours) after the birth, and again at 1 week and/or 2 weeks, each lasting 60 minutes.
Complete Care: 5 care visits + Labor/Birth
Postpartum visits are very important to see how you are recovering after birth, check in on you and baby, ensure all is going smoothly with baby, as well as screen for postpartum depression. Postpartum support ensures that you have the resources and care you need, to provide the best care for your baby and yourself.
If requested, or if you are mainly wanting postpartum support, you may have an additional 6 week, 8 week, and/or 12 week postpartum appointment.
Make sure to contact your provider, obstetrician, and midwife, or maternal and fetal medical doctor, and pediatrician, for any medical questions and concerns you have and attend all your medical appointments as well.
What is the cost of professional doula care?
What is the cost of professional doula care?
I am currently accepting self pay to cover my fees. I serve Polk County areas.
My fees are aligned with those of other expert doulas in the tri-county area (Polk, Hillsborough, and Orange). Your investment means the best care.
As a professional, I've set my fees based on education, training, experience, and resources.
Base your choices on the things that are important to you: when it comes to childbirth, it is your body, your baby, and your choices.
Each family deserves the care and valuable information a doula can provide for their baby's delivery.
Check with your provider and see what is covered under your maternity package.
I accept out of pocket pay and serve Polk County areas. I look forward to being there for you!
Even when you have midwives and nurses, a doula provides additional hands on comfort measures and is with you throughout your whole labor.
Nurses have shifts and may change shifts during the duration of your labor. They also have other patients to attend to. Nurses work for the hospital and carry out the doctors orders and protocol. You may have a different OBGYN than the one that you bonded with throughout pregnancy as OBs are part of a network.
A doula is by your side and will advocate for your birth wishes. Doulas partner with your birth team, helping you navigate through your options by providing you with Evidence Based Care information, so you can make informed decisions.
Your doula is a compliment to the nurses, doctors, residents, obstetricians, midwives, surgical techs, and other health care providers, enhancing the level and quality of care you receive. Doulas also support your partner and provide ways for them to be involved.
