Quick Answer

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for a doula?

Often, yes. Many plans reimburse birth and postpartum doula care when you submit a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your provider along with itemized receipts. Coverage isn’t guaranteed, but families are frequently approved—especially on appeal.
