The Call Bag, the magazine
- The Call BagThe magazine index, with all nine working notes for independent birth and postpartum doulas.
- How do I set up a backup doula agreement that actually holds when I miss a birth?A backup arrangement is only real if the client, the fee split, and the handoff are written down in advance.
- Should I charge a flat birth fee or bill hourly for postpartum, and how do the two differ?Birth work and postpartum work carry different risk, different call structures, and different cash flow.
- What are the most common contract mistakes that cost doulas money in their first two years?Most lost income traces back to a few clauses: vague refund language, no scope limit, silent backup terms, and no rule for early or late deliveries.
- What does HIPAA actually require of me as an independent doula who is not a covered entity?Most solo doulas are not covered entities, but hospital agreements, Medicaid billing, and client privacy expectations still shape how you store notes and photos.
- How does Medicaid doula reimbursement work in the states that now cover it, step by step?Covered states share a common path: state registry or training standard, an NPI, Medicaid enrollment, then billing through a managed care plan or a hub.
- How many clients can I take per month before my on call weeks start to overlap badly?Capacity is a math problem: due date windows, call length, backup depth, and recovery time.
- What should I pack and check before I leave for a birth call in the middle of the night?A departure routine you can run half asleep protects the client and you: bag, car, phone, backup notified, household covered, and hospital access sorted before you pull out of the driveway.
- What changed for doulas when states began adding us to Medicaid, and where is it heading?Public coverage has pulled doula work toward registries, documentation, and set rate schedules.
- What does a first overnight postpartum shift actually look like from arrival to morning handoff?An overnight is a structured shift: intake, feeding support, sleep protection, light household work within scope, notes, and a morning handoff that tells the parents what happened.
