Does Medicaid Cover a Doula in Texas?
Texas Medicaid covers doula services as of September 2024 under SB 750 for eligible enrollees. Taylor County families on Medicaid should contact their STAR managed care plan to confirm doula coverage — not all plans have completed their doula network setup yet. Military families with Tricare have separate maternity coverage and should check Tricare’s current doula policy.
For the full breakdown of which states cover doulas and how to get coverage, see our Medicaid doula coverage guide.
Whether doula services are partially covered varies by plan in the Abilene area. Some private insurers offer maternal wellness benefits that include doula support — contact your provider directly, and check whether HSA or FSA funds can help cover out-of-pocket costs.
