Is a Doula Covered by Your Employer in Oregon? Here's What to Know
Are you expecting a baby or navigating life with a newborn in the Portland or Eugene area? If you’re exploring doula care for birth or postpartum support, there’s a good chance your employer-sponsored benefits may cover it—thanks to programs like Carrot, Maven, Cleo, and Progyny.
At Doulas of Oregon, we specialize in connecting growing families with trusted, professional doulas who are trained, experienced, and eligible for reimbursement through these benefits. Our service makes the process simple and stress-free—so you can focus on what matters most: your baby and your wellbeing.
What Are Carrot, Maven, Cleo, and Progyny?
These are employee benefits platforms that partner with companies to offer fertility, pregnancy, and parenting support. Many Oregon-based employers now include birth and postpartum doula services, childbirth education and lactation support as part of their health and wellness benefits.
Here’s a quick snapshot of each:
Maven – A virtual care platform offering birth and postpartum support. Many Oregon families use it to reimburse doula services.
Carrot Fertility – Offers benefits for fertility, pregnancy, and family building, including doula care.
Cleo – Provides personalized guidance for new and expecting parents, sometimes covering part or all of your doula’s fee.
Progyny – Often known for fertility benefits, but some plans extend to pregnancy support, including doulas.
How to Use Your Benefits for Doula Care in Oregon
If your employer offers one of these benefit platforms, here’s how to get started:
1. Find Out What’s Covered
Check your HR portal or contact your company’s benefits team to confirm what types of maternity and postpartum services are included. Some plans reimburse a specific dollar amount, cover care for a select period of time or have detailed requirements for the professionals you hire.
2. Get Matched with the Right Doula
Whether you're planning a hospital birth in Portland, a home birth in Eugene, or anything in between, our matching process takes the guesswork out of finding your doula. We’ll personally connect you with a few highly qualified options based on your preferences, budget, location, and coverage. We’ll of course send you doulas that have previously worked with your employee healthcare benefits or meet the requirements for reimbursement. You’ll have the chance to interview and choose the best fit for your family.
3. Gather Any Required Documents
Once you’ve hired your doula, she’ll provide any paperwork needed for reimbursement—like proof of training, details of services reserved, your retainer invoice, and a executed contract.
4. Submit for Reimbursement
Each benefit program is a little different—some offer direct reimbursement, while others pay upfront or through a digital care wallet. Make sure to confirm the process and timeline with your provider.
