At myHSA, we aim to provide clear information to help you make the most of your Health Spending Account (HSA) and Wellness Spending Account (WSA). One area that often raises questions is the coverage for Doula services. Here’s what you need to know about claiming these expenses.
Eligibility for Doula Services
Doula services are not eligible for reimbursement under an HSA because doulas are not recognized as medical practitioners by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). However, you may be able to claim these expenses under your WSA if your plan includes the category "Doula (Taxable)" or "Alternative Medicine or Practitioner (Taxable)."
What’s Covered?
Under the "Doula (Taxable)" or "Alternative Medicine or Practitioner (Taxable)" categories, you can claim expenses for:
Prenatal Support: Assistance and support provided by a doula during pregnancy.
Labor and Delivery Support: Continuous support from a doula during labor and childbirth.
Postpartum Support: Help and guidance provided by a doula after the birth of your child.
Ensure that your WSA includes the "Doula (Taxable)" or "Alternative Medicine or Practitioner (Taxable)" category. If you’re unsure, our support team can help you verify your plan details.
