Insurance and Payment

Bright Blessings Birth Services is dedicated to “planting support, growing families” by helping you get the doula and childbirth education coverage you deserve. With the new Act 965 in Arkansas, your health benefit plan is now required to cover our certified doula services.

This is a monumental step forward, and we are committed to helping you navigate the reimbursement process. However, it is important to understand that while the law mandates coverage, insurance companies may still deny claims for various reasons, such as coding errors or disputes over “medical necessity.” Our goal is to submit a superbill that minimizes this risk, but it is not a guarantee of payment.

Doula services are generally considered “pay-for-service” providers. While many doulas have historically been considered out-of-network, this is expected to change in the future as health plans begin to include doulas in their network. For now, we will provide you with a superbill after services are completed, which you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement.

Please note: Billing your insurance does not guarantee coverage. If your insurance denies the claim, you are responsible for the balance due within 30 days of the denial. If needed, payment plans can be arranged in writing. Failure to make on-time payments may result in legal action in accordance with all applicable City, County, State, and Federal laws.

Before services begin, we will contact your insurance provider(s) to confirm your coverage. You are required to provide information for both your primary and, if applicable, secondary insurance providers.
