postpartum care and
insurance coverage

Bringing a baby into the world is life-changing. But recovery doesn’t end at the hospital doors. From physical healing to emotional support, the care you need after birth is real — and for many families, it’s already covered by workplace insurance.

Alma services are benefits eligble

Most private insurance plans include coverage for services that can make your postpartum
experience smoother, healthier, and less overwhelming.

In-home support or postpartum doulas

Some plans cover these through health or wellness spending accounts — perfect for extra hands, guidance, or rest.

Lactation consultants

Get help with latching, supply, or feeding plans from certified experts (often covered if they’re RNs or IBCLCs). 

Mental health support

Work through anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm with licensed therapists or social workers.

Postnatal massage therapy

Ease tension, reduce inflammation, and support circulation and sleep.

Real coverage. Real impact.

Reimbursements of 80–100% per session

Annual coverage limits (often $500–$1500 per category)

Receipts from licensed providers are all you need to submit

Spending accounts (HSA/PSA) can be used for flexible care like doulas or wellness services
