HB 2632 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to health insurance reimbursement of doula services

This bill establishes a registration process for doulas to make their services eligible for health insurance reimbursement in Missouri. It requires the Department of Health and Senior Services to create specific criteria, review applications, and maintain a statewide registry of approved doulas. The department must consult with community organizations when setting these standards and must provide clear reasons if an application is denied. Importantly, the bill does not ban anyone from working as a doula; it only creates a pathway for those who register to be paid by insurance.
