Creates provisions relating to health insurance reimbursement of doula services
HB 890 creates a state registration system allowing doulas to seek health insurance reimbursement for their services. It requires the Missouri Department of Health to establish registration criteria, review applications, approve qualified doulas, and maintain a statewide registry of approved providers. The bill does not prevent unregistered doulas from practicing but mandates the department consult community organizations like the Missouri Community Doula Council when setting standards. This policy change directly affects doulas seeking reimbursement and health insurers required to cover these services under the new framework.
