Common questions
- I have Medi-Cal through a health plan in San Diego. Can I use these doulas?
- It depends on your plan. Orka isn't in network yet with Blue Shield Promise, Molina or Kaiser Southern California. Your plan's member services can point you to its doula list, or ask us where your plan stands.
- Which health plans can I use with a doula in San Diego?
- 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 San Diego 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.
