On July 1, DHCS posted the Doula Benefit Implementation Report, as required by Senate Bill 65 (Chapter 449, Statutes of 2021). Beginning on January 1, 2023, DHCS added doula services as a covered Medi-Cal benefit.

The report also includes recommendations from the Doula Implementation Stakeholder Workgroup to improve access and streamline implementation.
