MassHealth Doula Support

MassHealth Birth Doula Support - 100% FREE to you!

As a MassHealth member you are entitled to have your doula services fully covered by MassHealth if your health plan qualifies! Which, if you have notified them of your pregnancy it should. Since I will be billing through MassHealth there are a couple extra steps we must complete in terms of documentation but I will take care of all of that. MassHealth covers 8 hours of perinatal support, and birth support. I do require that all 8 hours be used, however, you can decide how you want that split up during your prenatal and postnatal period. To learn more and see if you're eligible book a free discovery call!
