Prices

Simple, fair fees. We're paid a percentage of what we collect for you — never a monthly retainer.

Simple, Fair Fees

What it costs to work with us

Our claims management rate drops as your volume grows — you are not penalized for taking on more families or adding doulas to your collective. Everything under Optional Fees is only charged when you ask for it.

  • Claim volume is the total number of claims submitted through us each month under your own EIN. If you own multiple entities that contract with us, volume across all of them counts toward your rate.
  • One family's care usually produces several claims — prenatal visits, labor and delivery support and postpartum visits — so a collective with a handful of doulas can cross into a lower rate faster than expected.
  • Claims submitted under an EIN you do not own — such as births you attend for another agency — are not included in your volume calculation and do not affect your rate.
  • Rates are based on average monthly claim volume over a three-month period and assume standard operational complexity. Any rate adjustment is communicated in writing and takes effect on the first day of the following month.

Pricing terms. Rates reflect the current annual pricing schedule. Any updates to pricing for the following year will be communicated at least 60 days in advance of implementation.

There is no monthly retainer and no required recurring charge — claims management is billed as a percentage of what we actually collect for you. The only recurring charges are the optional practice management services above, and only if you choose them.
