2024 changes to doula services and reimbursement

  • 12/20/2023

December 20, 2023

Subject

2024 changes to doula services and reimbursement.

Providers affected

Doulas, OB-GYN providers, family medicine providers, perinatologists

Key points

  • Beginning January 1, 2024, doulas will no longer be required to bill under a supervising provider. This will allow doulas to obtain direct reimbursement. Doulas will be required to be licensed by the state and to enroll as a Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) provider.
  • Reimbursement amounts will also change.  

Background

In 2024, doulas will no longer be required to bill under a supervising provider. Doula agencies and individual doulas will be able to obtain direct reimbursement. This change is a result of Minnesota legislation which passed in 2023. 

Doulas will be required to be licensed by the state and must enroll as a MHCP provider.

Reimbursement will increase to $100 per prenatal or post-partum visit and $1,400 for attending and providing services at birth.

Doula services are considered open access and no prior authorization is required.
