What is a doula?
A doula is a trained, non-medical support person who helps families during pregnancy, birth, loss, and postpartum. Doulas do not replace doctors, midwives, or nurses. They help people understand their options, prepare for birth, communicate with their care team, use comfort measures, and feel supported.
Kansas Medicaid now covers doula care
Kansas Medicaid/KanCare covers doula care for eligible members. Families, doulas, providers, and care teams can use this site to learn how doula care works, how referrals may happen, and how to find doulas who serve Kansas communities.
Doulas work alongside healthcare teams
Doulas are non-medical support professionals. They can help patients feel informed, prepared, respected, and supported before, during, and after birth.
