Indiana would set up a Medicaid doula program

The family services office would develop and run a doula program. The program would match doulas with pregnant Medicaid recipients. The program must include recruitment, eligibility rules such as certification or registration, training, a certification body, client outreach, matching, and caseload and reimbursement rates. It must include a process for doulas to enroll for Medicaid payment during the 12-month postpartum period, including for telehealth services. If enacted, the provision would take effect July 1, 2026.
