Medi-Cal Doula Benefit Made Simple: Learn, Bill, and Thrive with Pear Suite

California’s Medi-Cal Doula Benefit allows doulas and community programs to be reimbursed for prenatal, birth, and postpartum care. With generous reimbursement rates and clear guidance from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), this benefit can help doulas deliver high-quality care while getting paid for the critical services they provide.
