FSA/HSA for Doula Services

*Always check with your specific plan and provider*

Using Your HSA or FSA Account to Pay For Doula Support

  • Clients can pay for Doula services with an HSA or FSA account. The IRS allows you to pay for doula care out of your HSA or FSA account with a Letter of Medical Necessity (in this case, pregnancy/labor).


    Reimbursement From HSA or FSA Account for Doula Payments 

    If you would like to be reimbursed from your HSA or FSA, there are a few steps to follow:

    1. Pay your doula fee in full and receive an invoice stating the service and cost of the service

    2. Fill out a Letter of Medical Necessity form. You can get this form directly from your HSA, or a generic one can be found online.

    3. You will need to have your medical provider sign this affirming that you have the medical condition of being pregnant. 

    4. File your invoice and Letter of Medical Necessity form with your HSA/FSA. This can usually be done online. Keep this form for your tax records if you are ever audited.

    Using Your HSA/FSA Card to Directly Pay for Doula Support

    If your plan allows you to pay directly with your HSA/FSA card, we can accept those payments like any other credit card. Depending on your needs and the funds you have available, there can be a payment plan or an invoice for the full amount. I can work with you based on your needs!
