Common questions
- Does Health Net cover doulas if I don't have Medi-Cal?
- Health Net's provider guide includes commercial members on Ambetter and employer group plans, with a contracted doula. Commercial members don't get the additional postpartum visits. Coverage details vary, so check yours with Health Net or ask Orka to help.
- What does it cost on Health Net Medi-Cal?
- Health Net says doula care is at no cost for its Medi-Cal members who are pregnant or were pregnant within the past year.
- What is Mahmee?
- Mahmee is a separate virtual program Health Net offers. Its Medi-Cal members can choose Mahmee or the traditional doula benefit, not both. Orka's doulas are part of the traditional benefit.
