We accept most Rhode Island insurances & HSAs. Inquire for eligibility.
Insurance
As the first doula in the state of RI to be certified to accept insurance, it's always been my goal to provide accessible doula care to all communities. See our list of accepted insurance below and inquire to find out more.
Our Partners
wondering "Does My INsurance cover Doula Support?"
Here's how you can find out:
- Call the support number on the back of your insurance card
- Ask if they have a fully insured, Rhode Island plan, with the doula benefit.
Document two things:
- The name of the person you speak to
2. Ask for a reference number for the call.
