How To Receive Low Cost/Free Doula Care with The Savvy Doula
Welcoming a new baby is a joyful and transformative experience, but it can also come with its share of challenges—financial concerns shouldn't be one of them. At The Savvy Doula, I believe every family deserves quality support during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. That’s why I offer multiple ways to make doula care more accessible and affordable, from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to partnering with the Global Doula Project.
In this post, I’ll guide you through how to receive low-cost or free doula care, how to use your HSA account or health insurance for payment, and ways to explore funding options through partnerships.
1. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) for Doula Care
If you have an HSA account, using it to pay for doula care can be a straightforward and convenient option. HSA accounts allow you to use pre-tax dollars for medical-related expenses, including doula care in many cases.
How it Works:
At The Savvy Doula, you can easily use your HSA card to pay for services online, making the process hassle-free.
This option allows you to budget for doula care using pre-tax income, reducing out-of-pocket costs.
HSA accounts are an excellent way to invest in the support you need during pregnancy and beyond, offering a simple payment method that takes the financial pressure off your growing family.
2. Using Health Insurance for Doula Care
While doula care isn’t always covered by health insurance, some families have successfully received partial or full reimbursement for services. Here’s how The Savvy Doula helps make that possible:
Insurance Reimbursement Support:
Invoicing with NPI Number: All invoices from The Savvy Doula include my National Provider Identifier (NPI) number. This unique number is often required by insurance companies for processing claims.
Doula Care Codes Included: I provide the CPT and service codes that many insurance providers use to categorize doula care. These codes make it easier for you to submit claims to your insurance company.
No Guarantee of Coverage: It’s important to note that while I provide all the necessary information, I can’t guarantee insurance coverage. Each insurance provider is different, and coverage often varies by plan and location. However, many clients have found that submitting invoices with proper documentation increases their chances of receiving partial reimbursement.
3. Partnering with The Savvy Doula and the Global Doula Project for Low-Cost or Free Doula Care
For families facing financial hardship, The Savvy Doula has a special partnership with the Global Doula Project to help make doula care accessible. Together, we can create a personalized fundraising campaign to cover the cost of services.
How This Partnership Works:
Fundraising Campaign Creation: If you’re in need of financial assistance, The Savvy Doula will work with you to set up a fundraising campaign through the Global Doula Project. This campaign will allow you to share your story and the importance of having doula support during your birth journey.
Marketing Your Campaign: I will help promote your fundraising campaign by sharing your story on platforms and providing a fundraising link that you can easily share with friends, family, and your social network on social media.
Dollar-for-Dollar Matching: A wonderful benefit of this partnership is that the Global Doula Project matches each donation dollar for dollar. This means that every contribution made through your campaign is doubled, making it easier to reach your fundraising goal and secure the doula care you deserve.
By partnering with The Savvy Doula and the Global Doula Project, you can have the financial support you need, even in challenging times. We’ll work together to bring your community into your birth journey, ensuring that you feel supported both emotionally and financially.
Steps to Access Low-Cost or Free Doula Care:
Schedule a Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with The Savvy Doula to discuss your needs, explore options, and find the best path forward.
Submit Your Invoice to Insurance (if applicable): After services are rendered, you’ll receive an invoice that includes my NPI number and relevant insurance codes. Submit this invoice to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
Use Your HSA Account for Payment: If you have an HSA account, you can quickly pay online for your doula services without the added worry of upfront out-of-pocket expenses.
