Hello Mamas and Papas out there! We’ve had lots of people asking us lately if their insurance companies will cover our services and how they might go about seeking reimbursement. So, here is the run down… of course feel free to contact us with specific questions, we are happy to reply.

First of all, we are paid in full for our services per our normal contract agreement. After you have your baby, we provide you with an invoice with information including: the amount you paid us; our information, including our National Provider Identification (NPI) number; the “diagnosis”, which would be V22.2 Intrauterine Pregnancy; and a CPT code, which would be 99499 – Evaluation and Management Services (Labor Support). Then your insurance company reimburses you.

Our clients success with reimbursement has been relatively good, though most don’t seek it. Clients with Flexible Spending Accounts seem to be reimbursed without any hassle. To get started, I’d recommend calling your insurance company with the information above and see what they say. Let us know if you have any questions. In the meantime,  schedule a free consultation with us to further discuss what you are looking for from a doula!
