District of Columbia details
The 12-visit limit is one shared pool across pregnancy, birth and postpartum (it includes the labor and delivery visit and at most one consultation visit). The $4,321.70 maximum counts labor support plus 11 six-hour postpartum visits and leaves out the $100 incentive. It's a theoretical cap; a typical package pays far less. Rates rise each January by the Medicare Economic Index (per the SPA). Doulas need liability insurance ($1M per occurrence, $3M aggregate) under DHCF's August 2026 provider manual. Eligibility: Medicaid members who are pregnant or within 6 months after the pregnancy ends. Doula services must be recommended by a physician or other licensed practitioner (29 DCMR 11201.5); no standing recommendation was found. Members in managed care (AmeriHealth Caritas DC, MedStar Family Choice, HSCSN) get doulas through their plan; doulas must enroll with DHCF and then credential with each plan.
