Health Care - As introduced, adds doula services performed by a person with a verification of certification to the list of services that may be provided as medical assistance under the TennCare program; directs the department of health to establish by rule a process for the verification of certification to a person who demonstrates that the person has completed a doula training program that meets certain requirements. - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 71.

HB 295 would add doula services to Tennessee's TennCare Medicaid program, allowing certified doulas to provide covered support for pregnant individuals. The bill requires the Tennessee Department of Health to create a verification process for doulas who complete approved training programs covering pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care. This includes verifying knowledge of anatomy, emotional support strategies, comfort techniques, and community resources. The policy change would directly affect TennCare beneficiaries seeking doula support and certified doulas aiming to provide covered services. The bill does not change eligibility but expands covered services under TennCare.
