Payment Options
-
Insurance
SLO Mama Birth Services is an approved provider for Cen-Cal Health. If you have Cen-Cal and maintain it throughout your pregnancy, the birth doula package is completely covered by your insurance. This mean ZERO out of pocket costs for you.
There are currently no other insurance agencies locally that offer doula coverage outside of Tri-Care.
SLO Mama Birth Services is not accepting Tri-Care at this time.
-
Payment Plans
A $200 deposit is required to secure your booking. You then have the option to pay the full fee up front, or follow a monthly payment plan. Payment plans are developed by dividing the rest of the cost over the amount of months left before your due date. Your monthly payment will be due the first of every month, and will need to be paid in full prior to the start of the on-call period (two weeks before your due date).
Postpartum doula packages must be purchased in 6 hour increments and there are no payment plans available at this time for this package.
-
Flexible Spending Accounts
Some flexible spending accounts will allow you to use your funds towards doula services. If you are interested in using flex spending account funds, you will pay for services up front. I will then provide you with a superbill after services are completed to submit to your FSA for reimbursement.
