Summary
The bill would make doula services—non‑clinical health education, advocacy, and emotional support—covered under MO HealthNet and require private health plans to cover them starting in 2027. It applies to pregnant women who qualify for Medicaid and expands coverage to include scheduled C‑section attendance and up to 16 support sessions. The measure also creates a state registration system for doulas and sets rules for insurers.
