While doula services aren’t covered by OHIP, you may have more options than you think for insurance coverage. Many private health insurance and employee benefit plans will reimburse part — and sometimes all — of your doula fees.
Because insurance coverage and benefits look different for every provider and policy, we encourage you to connect with your insurer to learn what’s possible for you. Our team is happy to provide any documentation you need to help make the process smooth and stress-free.
