Placenta Alchemy Offerings
Whats that?!
Placentophagy is the ingestion of a human placenta at any time, by any person, either in raw or altered form such as cooked, dried, or steeped in liquid.
Placenta encapsulation has many potential benefits of consuming your placenta after birth, such as:
1. Balancing Postpartum Hormones: Many women experience a sudden drop in hormone levels after giving birth. The placenta capsules can reintroduce these important hormones back into the mother's body, which can assist with postpartum depression.
2. Helps the Uterus Shrink Back to Its Pre-pregnancy Size: The placenta contains high levels of prostaglandin and oxytocin, which stimulate the shrinking of the uterus.
3. Reduce Postpartum Bleeding: The placenta contains an inhibitor of urokinase, which helps reduce or stop bleeding.
4. Increase Milk Supply: Oxytocin triggers the milk let-down. Evidence shows that consuming the placenta can increase milk production, while research is still being conducted.
5. Natural Pain Relief: Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor (POEF) may assist but enhance the effectiveness of opioids.
The Pink Priestess Placenta Encapsulation offering includes hospital pickup and delivery or shipping of the placenta products when services are complete, a placenta print, encapsulation of the placenta, a tincture, a choice of a placenta food item such as gummies, cookies, truffles, chocolates, smoothies, or chili, and your choice of a placenta care item such as a healing salve or body butter.

Doula Reimbursement HSA FSA
Covering Doula Services with hsa+ fsa
You may be wondering will my insurance reimburse or pay for a doula. There are currently many Insurance companies reimbursing for a Certified Birth Doula as well as Certified Postpartum doulas. I encourage my clients to call their insurance provider and inquire. Medicaid is currently in 3 states paying for a doula. It is not the full fee but it is a great start.
I will detail below how to do this. Do not let it deter you as it may seem like a lot but if you begin your work while pregnant and immediately after the birth send it in it is well worth it. Further more having me as your doula I will help you navigate thru this. Providing pre written forms and documents that will be pertinent to your own birth. Since I utilize the Mobile Doula App you will have all of the documents , billing codes and forms at your finger tips.
People are often surprised to hear that you can pay for birth doula care using your Health Savings Account (HSA) or your Flexible Spending Account (FSA). In fact, under the IRS regulations, you can pay for 100% of a doula’s fee out of your HSA or FSA account! (See eligible HSA expenses here and eligible FSA expenses here).
To be legally compliant, you must receive a receipt/invoice from your doula and have your doctor sign a “Letter of Medical Necessity.” Here:
https://www.wageworks.com/media/103965/ww-ltr-of-med-nec.pdf
If any doula tells you that they can personally file your insurance claim please know that this is not possible. I have been paid directly with clients HSA.
IF you do not have a FSA or HSA

How to Request Insurance Reimbursement for Doula Services
First Pay your doula in full. Get an invoice from her . I utilize the Mobile Doula App for my clients and include all the needed forms to submit to your insurance that include My NPI number (only a certified doula can obtain a National Provider Number) My DONA Certification number and pertinent CPT codes and billing personal for you. I will also help you with wording your letters to submit.
Here are just some of the required information to submit:
a. The doula’s name and address
b. Her social security number/taxpayer ID number or NPI number
c. The date and location services were provided
d. The CPT code for the services provided
e. A diagnosis code (which I have available to my clients via the Mobile Doula APP)
f. The doula’s signature
___ Submit the invoice with a claim form to your insurance company.
___ Within four weeks, expect a letter telling you either that
a. They need more information before they can process your claim.

a. A copy of her certification (a certified doula is a requirement and currently three certifying companies are accepted; DONA , CAPPA and ICEA .
b. Other credentials or relevant training
c. A letter detailing her training and experience and what she did for you
If possible, ask your obstetrician or midwife for a letter explaining why a doula helped you (I Highly encourage this) https://www.wageworks.com/media/103965/ww-ltr-of-med-nec.pdf was necessary, or saved the insurance company money. (Did you have a high-risk pregnancy? Did the doula’s suggestions appear to prevent complications or help your labor to progress more quickly? Did the doula’s presence decrease your need for expensive pain medications?)
___ Write a letter explaining why you felt the need for a doula and how you believe the doula was beneficial to your health.
___ Submit to your insurance company: the doula’s letter and credentials the letter from the doctor your cover letter
___ If they refuse it, write a letter to Health Services requesting that they review the claim, as you feel it was a cost-cutting measure and they should cover the cost.
___ Follow up by telephone if necessary.
___ If they refuse, write a letter to the CEO explaining why you feel that doula care should be a covered expense. They may not pay your claim, but they will consider it for the future.
Please reach out to me for any help as I have had clients pay me in full using their HSA.
