Medicaid to Cover Doula and Midwife Services for Maternity Care
This law adds services provided by doulas and midwives to the list of healthcare services covered by Medicaid. This means people on Medicaid can now get support during pregnancy, birth, and after from these providers, potentially leading to healthier outcomes and more care options.
Key points
Medicaid will now pay for services from certified doulas and midwives for pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum care.
This expands choices for maternity care and aims to improve health for mothers and babies, especially in communities facing higher risks.
