I want to share my experience because I think it’s important for other families to understand not only the care they may receive, but also how insurance and payment arrangements are handled. Before hiring Joanne, I specifically asked about TRICARE. I was told that she accepted TRICARE and that I would be provided with a superbill so I could submit the claim for reimbursement. Based on that information, I felt comfortable moving forward and paid out of pocket for six postpartum doula visits. Unfortunately, when I submitted the claims, TRICARE denied them. The Explanation of Benefits stated that the provider needed to have the appropriate labor doula specialty and a participation agreement on file. When I contacted TRICARE to understand the denial, I was told that the provider needed to have the required participation agreement and that the provider was responsible for submitting the claims. This was very different from what I understood before hiring Joanne. I had relied on the information I was given when deciding to proceed and pay for the services. Had I known there might be an issue with her TRICARE status, participation agreement, or claim-submission process, I would have asked additional questions and clarified everything before paying. I reached out to Joanne to explain what TRICARE had told me and to ask for clarification and assistance resolving the issue. I followed up by text and email, but I have not received a response. At this point, I have paid for the services and have been left trying to resolve the insurance issue on my own, without the clarification or assistance I requested. I want to be clear that my concern is not simply that an insurance claim was denied. Insurance coverage can be complicated, and I understand that reimbursement is not always guaranteed. My concern is that I specifically asked about TRICARE before hiring, made my decision based on the information provided, and then was unable to get a response when the billing issue came up. She has not been helpful or responsive to this matter and has been curt and rude in earlier response and has ghosted me now that I am trying to resolve this. I recommend that anyone considering hiring Joanne get clear, written confirmation before beginning services about whether she is currently eligible to provide covered services under their specific TRICARE plan, whether the required participation agreement is on file, who is responsible for submitting claims, and what happens if a claim is denied. I would also recommend confirming all payment and reimbursement expectations in writing. I’m sharing this so other families can make an informed decision and avoid finding themselves in a similar situation.

I reached out for support because I was feeling really anxious about attempting a TOLAC. I wasn’t sure if I should go for it, but after having many honest conversations, I felt completely heard and supported. That helped me make a decision I truly felt good about. On the day of my delivery, she came right away. Her bright encouragement and Naoko’s calming presence helped me shift from fear to confidence. In the end, I had a successful VBAC, and it turned into the best birth experience I could have hoped for. I’m so grateful I chose Naoko’s support and would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a TOLAC or VBAC.

Kristan was great to have as a weekly day doula! She provided a lot of guidance and options, especially with breastfeeding and pumping. She was willing to help with anything I needed to help ease me into motherhood. I would highly recommend her!
