Common questions
- I have Health Net through my employer in Pasadena. Does this apply?
- It can. Health Net's guide includes employer group plans, with a contracted doula. Those members don't get the additional postpartum visits. Check your own plan with Health Net.
- Which health plans can I use with a doula in Pasadena?
- On this page: Health Net, plus regular (fee-for-service) Medi-Cal. If yours isn't listed, the directory shows every plan we work with, and we can tell you where yours stands.
- What does doula care in Los Angeles County cost?
- Medi-Cal members pay nothing for covered doula care. If you have a non-Medi-Cal plan, your costs depend on your plan, and Orka can help you check.
