Common questions
- I have Anthem through my job. Is that covered here?
- Not through Orka. Our doulas work with Anthem's Medi-Cal plan, not its employer or other commercial plans. Your plan documents or Anthem's member services can tell you what your plan offers.
- Do I need a doctor's recommendation?
- Not for the initial visit, the 8 visits, birth support or the 2 extended postpartum visits, because Medi-Cal has a standing recommendation. The additional 9 postpartum visits need an additional recommendation, which your doula can help you get.
