Does Medicaid Cover a Doula in Florida?
Florida Medicaid covers doula services as of July 1, 2024, under SB 264. Coverage includes prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum doula visits. Doulas must be certified by approved organizations and enrolled as Florida Medicaid providers. UF Health Shands’ patient navigation team can help connect Medicaid patients with enrolled doulas, and student-doula programs through UF may offer reduced-cost support.
For the full breakdown of which states cover doulas and how to get coverage, see our Medicaid doula coverage guide.
Florida Medicaid now covers doula services under SB 264. If you’re not on Medicaid, check whether your private insurance covers out-of-network doula services. HSA and FSA funds can also be used for doula fees. Contact your provider directly to confirm what’s covered under your plan.
