Contemporary doulas are non-medical professionals who provide emotional, physical, and informational support and guidance in different aspects of reproductive health. Most doulas focus on prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. Doulas do not provide medical care, and do not replace medical providers such as physicians, midwives, and nurses. Rather, doulas provide additional support in places and times where medical providers cannot or do not, during the prenatal period, labor and delivery, and postpartum period. You may be eligible to receive support from a doula if you have Medi-Cal and have Partnership Health Plan or Kaiser for your insurance. These plans cover at least 9 visits with a doula, including prenatal and postpartum care up to 12 months after delivery. Visit the website to learn more and find a doula near you.
