From 2019 to 2022, there have been at least 10 doula pilot programs in California with a primary focus on addressing racial health disparities, and in particular on providing free doula services to either Black pregnant and birthing people or Medicaid enrollees. CHCF provided support to the National Health Law Program to learn from the doulas, funders, and/or administrative staff involved with each of the 10 doula pilot programs. The lessons can help to inform the rollout and implementation of California’s statewide doula Medicaid benefit.
