The Client Profile is where you can view and edit information that pertains to a particular client. Each client you create will have their own client profile.

How to access a client's Client Profile

In general, you can go to a client's Client Profile by

  1. Navigating to the Clients page

  2. Identifying the row in the Clients table in which the client appears

  3. Clicking on the row.

You may also navigate to a client's Client Profile by clicking the client tag wherever it appears.

Note: Information on the client profile is only visible to you and will not be shared with the client.

What's on a Client Profile

There are two main sections on the Client Profile - Client information and Visits.

On desktop devices,

On mobile devices,

  • You will find Visits and Client Information in two separate tabs.

  • Visits is the default tab that is open

  • On the bottom right corner is a Submit Visit button that will allow you to submit visit for this client. Learn more about submitting a visit

Shared Clients

Some clients may be shared across multiple doulas. The Client Profiles for shared clients are marked with a Shared Clients tag.

In general,

  • When you make a change on any Client Information field for a shared client, it will update for all doulas who share that client.

  • When you submit a visit for a client, the visit will become visible to all doulas who share the client

Client Information

The client information section is divided into 4 different subsections: Pregnancy, Insurance, Personal Details and Contact Information.

Each section can be edited by clicking the Edit button, which opens a drawer in which you can edit the fields associated with that section.

Pregnancy

The Pregnancy section is the first subsection you see in the Client Information section. It displays information related to the client's pregnancy.

Pregnancy Status

A client can be Prenatal, Postpartum, or Inactive. A client’s pregnancy status is first configured when you create a client.

Automated Status Changes

  • If a client is prenatal, and you submit a Labor & Delivery visit (including abortion and miscarriage support), the client’s pregnancy status will be updated to postpartum.

  • If a client is prenatal and you submit a Perinatal, Postpartum visit or a Postpartum, Extended visit, you will be prompted to provide the Pregnancy End Date. When you submit the visit, your client’s pregnancy status will also be updated to postpartum.

  • If a client is postpartum, and it now has been a year since the Pregnancy End Date, the client’s status will now be updated to inactive.

    • Once a client is inactive, you will not be able to submit a visit for the client.

Manual Status Changes

  • You may also move a client from prenatal and postpartum manually. You can do this in the Pregnancy tab of the Edit Client Information drawer by clicking the Edit button in the Pregnancy section. Then, click “Move client to Postpartum.”

  • Fill out the modal that appears to change the client’s status from prenatal to postpartum.

Estimated Due Date

  • For clients who are Prenatal, the Estimated Due Date that you entered when you created a client is displayed. Once a client is in the Postpartum or Inactive status, this field will be hidden.

Pregnancy End Date

  • This refers to the date the pregnancy ended, irregardless of the outcome of the pregnancy).

  • For clients who are Postpartum, the Pregnancy End Date that you entered when creating the client or when moving the client to postpartum will be displayed.

You will not be able to make changes to Pregnancy End Date directly on the portal.

The Pregnancy End Date affects how long the client is eligible for doula services.

If you realized a client’s pregnancy end date needs to be edited, please contact [email protected]

Additional Postpartum Visits

Some clients are eligible for an additional 9 Perinatal, Postpartum visits with a provider recommendation.

If the client is eligible, you will see an Upload recommendation link to upload a provider recommendation that approves them for these additional services.

If the link is not visible, you will not see the Upload recommendation link. A message will be displayed explaining to you why this client is not eligible.

Insurance

The Insurance section is the second subsection you see in the Client Information section. It displays information related to the client's health plans.

    • If you see this status, you will receive an additional email explaining to you what you should do next to verify the client’s insurance.

    • Please ask the client to see if they have switched to any other insurance coverage.

    • When you get the client’s updated health plan information, use the “Edit” button under the Insurance section of the Client Profile to update the health plan.
