All doula services with Empowered Beginnings are provided on a private-pay basis.
I am registered with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey to support insurance reimbursement for doula services. If your plan offers a doula benefit, I provide detailed invoices and superbills to help you submit for reimbursement.
Coverage and reimbursement amounts vary by plan.
Empowered Beginnings does not bill insurance directly.
