What to include on a Doula invoice
Your invoice needs to spell out exactly which services you provided because birth work isn't one-size-fits-all. Include the dates you were on call, how many prenatal visits you did, labor support hours with clock-in and clock-out times, and any postpartum visits. If you brought a TENS unit or other supplies, itemize those separately. Insurance companies and FSA administrators need this level of detail, and parents often submit invoices for reimbursement later.
Most doulas take a deposit when the contract is signed, usually half the total fee. The remaining balance is due by 36 or 38 weeks, before you go on call. This protects you from chasing payment while sleep-deprived after a birth. Some doulas do payment plans for clients who need them, but get that money in before the birth happens.
Send your final invoice within three days of the birth while everything is fresh and emotions are high. Parents are most likely to pay quickly when they're still in that golden bubble of gratitude. If you wait two weeks, you become just another bill in a pile of medical invoices and newborn expenses.
