National Doula Network: Changing lives one birth at a time

By National Doula Network
Added: January 5, 2021
LearnPartner Content

The National Doula Network is a provider network of credentialed, certified doulas that are reimbursed a living wage for providing birth doula services to Medicaid families in Florida. Beyond securing reimbursement, the Network is working with health systems to create pipelines of referrals and integrate doulas as providers into the Medicaid system. Currently, NDN is contracted with one SMMC payer in Florida but hopes to grow to include more payers and even more states. The model used by NDN is based on the work of many doula organizations, community groups, and research that has come before us. This model includes a living wage, administrative support for charting, billing, and coding, building a support network of doulas, and raising awareness at the state and national level about birth doulas.
