New Parent Support covered by private insurance

If your insurance plan includes coverage for Social Work, your New Parent Session fees may be eligible for reimbursement under Social Work. Our Parent Support Doulas work under the direct supervision of our Registered Social Workers, and receipts reflect this supervision. The additional time required for supervisory review is incorporated into the fees. If you have Social Work coverage, your Parent Support Session fees may be covered under either the parent's or child's name—please check your policy for details.
