Recommendation for Doula Services

On and after 3/1/2024, in order to comply with federal requirements, Medicaid-enrolled members must obtain a written recommendation for doula services. This recommendation must be dated prior to the initiation of doula services. Doulas must maintain a copy of each recommendation in their records.

This recommendation can be completed using the form provided by the NYSDOH. It is not necessary to use the NYSDOH form as long as the NYS licensed practitioner's written recommendation for doula services includes the following:

• Medicaid Member's first and last name;
• Medicaid Member's date of birth;
• Licensed practitioner's first and last name;
• Licensed practitioner's license number;
• Date of recommendation; and
• Licensed practitioner's signature.
