Doula Services Covered by Medicaid:

• If you are a NYS Medicaid Member, you are eligible to receive doula services with each pregnancy at no cost.

• You can receive up to 8 doula visits before and after your pregnancy and support during childbirth - no matter how your pregnancy ends.

• You can receive doula services up to 12 months after your pregnancy ends.

What this means for you - Damselfly Doula can give you care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. When you've completed your care, then the doula submits for Medicaid reimbursement, which means you don't have to do any paperwork.

     You can make use of care for only pregnancy, only birth, or only postpartum care, (or all 3). Damselfly Doula fees for care are higher than some, and less than others...if you shop around you can potentially get more care from a doula that charges less for her services giving you an opportunity to receive additional services.

  Damselfly Doula Medicaid Services include a prenatal in home visit, the birth, and 1-2 postpartum visits. FaceTime/zoom visits are available as needed prenatally, andyou will have access to unlimited text messaging. Education is the biggest component to your success, and ideally your partner will be part of this process so that you can get the most support and advocacy possible. Education takes time and effort on your part, you will get out of the experience whatever you put in to it.

      I can't ask for any additional fees but, I am happy to take a tip, and/or good reviews on Yelp and Google. My love language is Words of Affirmation, and Acts of Service, so if you really want me to feel great about how I helped you - sincerely tell me about it, often. : )

• Some insurance companies that are NOT affiliated with Medicaid will cover some doula fees, if you do not have Medicaid, check with your insurance to see if they cover doulas.

• Damselfly Doula is currently a provider with Medicaid subcontractors such as MVP, HighMark, Excellus, and I am continuing to apply to be a provider for more so check with me to see if I am able to take your specific Medicaid insurance.
