If you plan to use employer-sponsored benefits, insurance reimbursement, or an HSA or FSA for doula care, check the requirements before booking. Eligibility depends on your benefit, the services you need, and the individual doula providing them.
Circle Birth provides non-clinical birth and postpartum support. We can provide service documentation and available provider credentials to support your reimbursement request. Your benefit program makes the coverage and reimbursement decisions.
Using an employer benefit for doula care
Before booking, ask your benefit administrator:
Which birth, daytime postpartum or overnight services qualify?
Does the individual doula need approval or specific credentials?
What limits, service dates and claim deadlines apply?
Do you pay first and request reimbursement?
What invoices, receipts and provider information are required?
Share the confirmed requirements with Circle Birth when discussing your care. Your plan decides eligibility and reimbursement; these aren’t guaranteed by booking with us.
Ask for written instructions when possible. For HSA or FSA funds, confirm the applicable expense and documentation requirements before using them.
Verify your chosen doula
Give your program the name of the individual doula and the services you plan to book. Requirements can differ for birth and postpartum care. If another doula will provide part of your care, check that person’s eligibility too.
Paying Circle Birth
You pay Circle Birth directly according to your agreement’s payment schedule. We do not bill insurance or benefit programs directly.
An invoice shows the amount billed. A paid statement confirms payment received. Documentation of completed care reflects the services and dates actually provided. Your program may require these records at different stages.
Requesting documents
Share your program’s requirements with us before booking so we can confirm what we can provide. Keep your agreement, payment records, service documentation and benefit correspondence.
Providing documents does not guarantee reimbursement. Your program determines eligible expenses and reimbursement amounts.
