杜拉服务常见问题​​ 

Doula Providers – Managed Care Plans​​ 

卫生保健服务部 (DHCS) 为孕妇和产后人员提供管理式护理和按服务收费的分娩陪护服务。 服务包括产前和产后访问以及分娩、流产和堕胎期间的非医疗支持。​​ 

1. 我需要做什么才能为参加 Medi-Cal 管理式医疗计划 (MCP) 的 Medi-Cal 会员提供服务并获得报销?​​ 

  • The following steps are separate and distinct requirements as outlined in various state and federal laws and DHCS policy.​​ 
    • Doulas must apply and enroll as a Medi-Cal provider through DHCS’ Provider Application and Validation for Enrollment (PAVE) portal. In addition to meeting Medi-Cal’s requirements for qualifications, which are listed in the Medi-Cal Provider Manual: Doula Services, doulas also need to meet state and local business requirements when submitting their application. Prior to enrolling, doulas may refer to DHCS’ Medi-Cal Doula Provider Enrollment Checklist to help determine what documents are needed. Please see question #3 for more information.​​ 
    • Doulas must meet Medi-Cal managed care credentialing requirements. This is a federal requirement for MCPs to ensure the integrity of their provider networks. Please see question #4 for more information.​​ 
    • Doulas must apply and enter into Medi-Cal managed care contracts (Network Provider Agreements) with MCPs to receive reimbursement for Doula Services provided to Medi-Cal members. Doulas may choose to contract with multiple MCPs, depending on the geographic service area (county) the Medi-Cal members are in. Please see question #5 for more information.​​ 

2. 为什么我在 DHCS 上注册 Medi-Cal 后,某些 MCP 会有额外要求?(已于 9 月6日、 2024添加)​​ 

  • Enrollment in PAVE, managed care credentialing, and MCP contracting processes are separate and distinct. Each process has its own requirements as required by various state and federal laws and DHCS policy.​​ 
  • DHCS 不能为 MCP 和助产士规定任何特定的合同类型。 MCP 无需与通过 PAVE 注册的每个提供商签订合同。​​ 
  • Some screening and enrollment requirements overlap with credentialing and recredentialing requirements. Any such overlap does not require an MCP to duplicate any of the activities described All Plan Letter (APL) 22-013. However, if an MCP relies on the screening and enrollment activities conducted by another MCP, or by DHCS, the MCP must comply with allcredentialing and re-credentialing requirements.​​ 
  • 为了帮助减少​​ rriers, DHCS is working closely with MCPs and Plan Associations to encourage simplification of their credentialing and/or contracting processes for doulas and to ensure MCPs are providing sufficient technical assistance to support doulas become network providers. DHCS also continues to issue guidance and best practice recommendations to MCPs.​​ 

3.什么是 Medi-Cal 提供商筛选和注册程序?(8月更新19,2025)​​ 

  • 所有网络提供商(包括助产士)都必须接受筛选和登记。​​ 
  • Pursuant to APL 22-013 and applicable state and federal requirements, MCP network providers that have a state-level enrollment pathway must enroll in the Medi-Cal program. The doula state-level enrollment pathway is PAVE.​​ 
  • MCP 可指示其网络提供商(包括助产士)通过州级注册途径(例如 PAVE)进行注册。 MCP 还可以选择制定和实施自己的符合APL 22-013要求的管理式医疗提供商筛选和登记流程。​​ 
  • 通过 PAVE 注册的助产士可以同时参与 Medi-Cal FFS 计划以及与 MCP 签订合同(前提是 MCP 选择与提供商签订合同)。 但是,仅通过 MCP 注册的提供商不能参与 Medi-Cal FFS 计划。​​ 

4.什么是 Medi-Cal 管理式医疗提供者资格认证和重新认证? (2024 年 9 月 6 日添加)​​ 

  • As described in APL 22-013, all MCPs are required to verify the credentials of their Network Providers, including doulas.​​ 
  • 资格认证是指确定提供商或实体的专业或技术能力的过程,可能包括注册、认证、许可和专业协会会员资格。 根据州和联邦法律,MCP 必须对向指定会员提供服务的所有合同提供商进行认证。​​ 
  • DHCS 要求每个 MCP 每三年验证一次提供医疗服务的每个网络提供商是否继续拥有有效凭证。​​ 
  • 如需了解具体的认证要求和流程,请联系 MCP。​​ 

5. 什么是 Medi-Cal 管理式医疗合同(网络提供商协议)?(于6年 9 月、 2024添加)​​ 

  • MCPs are required to maintain contracts with their network providers (Network Provider Agreement). A Network Provider Agreement means a written agreement between an MCP and a network provider. At a high-level, “contracting” refers to the process between MCPs and providers (individual or groups), including doulas, to become network providers.​​ 
  • 根据适用的州和联邦要求,MCP 制定网络提供商协议,该协议由 DHCS 和管理医疗保健部 (DMHC) 审查和批准。​​ 
  • 请注意,大多数 MCP 提供商网络合同都是为获得许可的提供商制定的,对 MCP 合同或流程进行任何针对助产士的修改都需要时间。 更新后的合同必须经过 MCP 的内部、外部和监管审查。​​ 
  • 如需了解具体的承包要求和流程,请联系 MCP。​​ 

6. 如果 MCP 不接受我的申请和/或对我的入学、认证或签约设置障碍,我该怎么办? (添加于6年 9 月、 2024 )​​ 

  • If you are having challenges with a specific MCP, please reach out to DHCS via email at DoulaBenefit@dhcs.ca.gov and provide the following information. Please do not mention any Medi-Cal member by name or include any protected health information in your email.​​ 
    • 导乐名字​​ 
    • 导乐 NPI​​ 
    • 助产师在哪些县提供服务?​​ 
    • 助产师与哪些 MCP 签订了合同?​​ 
    • MCP 的名称​​ 
    • 就该问题与您交谈过的任何 MCP 代表的姓名。 请注明联系 MCP 的电子邮件或电话号码。​​ 
    • 问题简要描述​​ 
    • 与问题相关的日期​​ 
    • 后续联系信息(最好是电子邮件和电话)​​ 

7. 如果我有关于签约或计费的问题,在哪里可以找到多边协商程序的联系信息?(于 9 月添加10,2025)​​ 

  • 如果您有任何问题,并希望与 MCP 人员交谈以寻求帮助,请发送电子邮件至 DoulaBenefit@dhcs.ca.gov,并在邮件中注明 MCP 名称和问题主题。 DHCS 将跟进该计划的名称和联系信息。​​ 

8.如果在从多边协商程序报销时遇到困难,我该怎么办?(九月添加10,2025)​​ 

  • 请参阅常见问题,了解提供方争议解决流程。​​ 

9.Medi-Cal MCP 是否可以为 Medi-Cal 和商业业务签订单一合同?​​  

  • DHCS 没有为 MCP 和助产士规定任何特定的承包类型。只要纳入 DHCS 关于导乐覆盖范围的政策,就鼓励 MCP 在与导乐签订合同时保持灵活性。针对 Medi-Cal 和商业业务线具有单一合同协议/模板的计划应通过符合州、联邦和合同要求的展品来表明差异。请将与合同安排相关的问题直接咨询您的 MCP。​​ 

10. 为了保持网络的充足性,产妇保健中心需要与之签约的助产士人数是否有标准?​​  

  • 作为其网络的一部分,MCP 必须确保并监控其服务区域内有足够的提供商网络(包括助产士),以便及时获得 Medi-Cal 覆盖的服务。为了支持足够的导乐网络,MCP 必须向个人导乐和导乐团体提供合同,并与其网络医院/分娩中心合作,以确保在陪同成员进行产前检查、分娩支持和产后检查时,无论结果如何(死产、堕胎、流产、活产),都能顺利获得这些服务。​​ 
  • 如果 MCP 的网络内没有足够的助产士,则 MCP 必须安排网络外服务,并由网络外的助产士提供服务。DHCS 没有为签约目的指定助产士的具体数量,因为这可能会有所不同,并且目前没有基于数据、会员/患者偏好和提供者可用性的可接受的比例/标准。DHCS 希望 MCP 能够确保获得助产士福利,并将继续监控其获取情况。​​
