Doula Partnership Program (For Doulas)

Doula Partnership Program (for Doulas)

What is the Doula Partnership Program?

The Doula Partnership Program was launched in April 2025 to support and grow the network of certified and Medicaid credentialed doulas serving Howard County. Certified doulas working in Howard County that enroll in the program will receive in-depth Medicaid credentialing and billing training as well as have access to:

• Promotion & Marketing through HCHD Network
• Ongoing Client Referrals
• Client Screening & Coordination
• Continuing Education & Training
• Quarterly Meet-Ups & Networking Opportunities

To support doulas while they pursue Medicaid credentialing, HCHD will provide direct reimbursement for doula services for referred clients that are privately insured but meet specific family income thresholds. Both Medicaid and eligible privately insured families will work directly with their chosen doula throughout their pregnancy and/or postpartum journey, as well as have access to P.E.A.C.E Project services including postpartum care packages and resource connection.
