Everything you need to know about MyCareContracts and how our templates can protect your practice.
Getting Started
What types of contracts do you offer?
We offer comprehensive contract templates specifically designed for birth and care professionals, including Birth Client Agreements, Postpartum Support Contracts, Refund & Cancellation Policies, Sliding Scale Agreements, and Testimonial Release Forms. Each template is crafted by legal professionals who understand the unique needs of doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, and other care providers.
Are your contracts legally binding?
Yes, our contract templates are professionally drafted and designed to be legally enforceable when properly completed and signed. However, we recommend consulting with a local attorney to ensure compliance with your specific state and local laws, as legal requirements can vary by location.
How quickly can I start using the contracts?
Immediately! Once you purchase our templates, you'll receive instant access to download and customize them. Most professionals can have their contracts ready to use within 30 minutes of purchase.
Do I need legal experience to use these contracts?
Not at all! Our contracts are designed to be user-friendly with clear instructions for customization. Each template includes guidance on how to fill in your specific information, rates, and policies. We've made the legal protection accessible to everyone.
Customization
Can I customize the contracts for my specific practice?
Absolutely! Our templates are designed to be easily customizable. You can add your practice information, adjust payment terms, modify policies, and tailor the language to match your specific services and approach. We provide clear guidance on which sections can be modified.
What file formats do you provide?
Our contracts come in both Word (.docx) and PDF formats. The Word format allows for easy editing and customization, while the PDF format is perfect for final versions and client signatures.
Can I use these contracts in any state?
Our contracts are written to be broadly applicable across the United States. However, since laws can vary by state and locality, we recommend having a local attorney review any modifications and ensure compliance with your specific jurisdiction's requirements.
How often should I update my contracts?
We recommend reviewing your contracts annually or whenever you make significant changes to your services, pricing, or policies. We also notify customers when we release updated versions of our templates based on legal changes or industry best practices.
Pricing & Payment
How much do the contract templates cost?

Support & Legal
Do you provide legal advice?
We do not provide legal advice. Our templates are created by legal professionals, but every situation is unique. We always recommend consulting with a qualified attorney in your area for specific legal questions or if you need to modify the contracts significantly.
What kind of support do you offer?
We provide customer support for questions about using our templates, downloading files, and general guidance on customization. We also offer resources and tips for birth professionals on our blog and through our partnership with BirthBridge.
Can I share these contracts with other professionals?
Our templates are licensed for use by the individual purchaser only. If you work with a team or practice group, each professional should have their own license. We do offer volume discounts for practices purchasing multiple licenses.
What if I have issues with a client despite using your contracts?
While our contracts are designed to prevent common issues and protect your practice, we cannot guarantee outcomes in all situations. For any legal disputes, we recommend consulting with a qualified attorney who can review your specific circumstances.
Professional Practice
How do these contracts help build trust with clients?
Professional contracts demonstrate your commitment to transparency and professionalism. They set clear expectations from the beginning, outline your services and policies, and show clients that you take your practice seriously. This builds confidence and trust before you even meet.
Should I have clients sign contracts for all services?
Yes, we recommend using contracts for all professional services, regardless of the type or duration. Even brief consultations benefit from clear agreements that protect both you and your client and establish professional boundaries.
When should clients sign the contract?
Ideally, contracts should be signed before any services begin and definitely before any payments are made. This ensures everyone understands the terms and expectations from the start of your professional relationship.
How do I handle contract modifications mid-service?
Any changes to the original contract should be documented in writing and signed by both parties. Our templates include guidance on handling modifications and amendments to ensure continued protection for both you and your client.
