Can clients claim my fees on insurance?

Some insurance companies do provide coverage for doula, antenatal course or counselling fees as part of their health insurance package.

Because of the improved outcomes that a birth professional can lead to, and the subsequent lower costs, there are insurance companies who provide coverage for these fees. If a client's insurance company does not include birth professionals as one of the services they can claim for, the client may like to write to the insurance company, quoting the improved outcomes and cost savings.

An insurance company will usually require an invoice issued by the student to the clients. They may also require specific information to be included - the client can find out what is necessary by contacting the insurance company directly.
