Written-only billing-company qualification

Become a Medicaid billing partner for independent doulas

Apply to support Washington ProviderOne or Michigan fee-for-service Medicaid billing. Qualified billing agents and clearinghouses only. No calls or uploads. Do not enter patient or claim information.

One-state companies may qualify.
No phone call or application fee.
No patient or claim data enters DoulaPaid.

Eligible billing services

Applications are limited to Washington ProviderOne and Michigan CHAMPS fee-for-service billing. Submitting does not approve your company or promise referrals.

Washington HCA / ProviderOne

The exact applicant entity must be able to document the HCA billing-agent or clearinghouse path, accepted trading-partner terms, and tested 837 Professional capability. Under the current birth-doula guide, these claims go to HCA through ProviderOne even when the member is enrolled in an HCA-contracted MCO.

Michigan straight Medicaid / CHAMPS

The exact applicant entity must be approved as a CHAMPS billing agent, complete applicable B2B/837P testing, support provider association, and keep MDHHS data access and storage within the United States. Every Medicaid Health Plan is excluded.

Applications are open. DoulaPaid verifies legal, enrollment, electronic-claim, security, exclusion, insurance, agreement, and payment requirements before approving work.

What the partnerless pilot is building

DoulaPaid is qualifying provider demand before activating a billing company. The program is designed to reduce avoidable onboarding work, not promise leads, claims, or revenue.

Readiness before routing

Providers complete an exact-lane, provider-level readiness flow before they can authorize an introduction. Missing enrollment, credential, taxonomy, or portal steps remain visible without collecting claim data.

A direct provider relationship

The selected company contracts with the provider directly and collects every patient, claim, portal, remittance, and payment record through its own approved systems.

Bounded outcome measurement

The company reports only relationship milestones such as onboarding completed, first submission completed, and first payment confirmed—never claim identifiers, amounts, service dates, or patient information.

What qualified companies must be ready to prove

If shortlisted, you will provide supporting documents through a secure business channel. Do not upload or email them to DoulaPaid.

State authority

Exact legal-entity enrollment, billing-agent or clearinghouse status, provider association, and tested 837P authority for each requested lane.

HIPAA operations

Direct provider agreements and BAAs, a documented security program, U.S.-only Michigan operations, incident response, controlled subprocessors, and an approved termination and provider-transition plan.

Compliance and accountability

Current exclusion screening, professional and cyber coverage, support SLA, bounded status reporting, customer-relationship terms, pricing disclosure, provider-owned reimbursement, and counsel-approved fixed terms.

Apply without a call

Answer the qualification questions and confirm the company email. Do not enter credentials, documents, patient information, or claim information.

Company qualification information only.

Do not enter patient, claim, banking, credential, document, screenshot, or portal information.

No fee to apply. Applying does not promise approval, referrals, volume, exclusivity, or a contract.

What happens after confirmation

DoulaPaid reviews thirteen independent exact-lane gates before a company can be considered for activation.

  1. 1. DoulaPaid reviews the company’s answers.
  2. 2. Shortlisted companies receive a written request for supporting documents through a secure business channel.
  3. 3. DoulaPaid records bounded evidence receipts for thirteen independent gates but does not store the supporting files.
  4. 4. Promotion creates inactive registry records only. Work begins only after separate lane activation and named-provider consent.

Keep records in the billing company’s secure system

The billing company receives patient and claim information directly from the provider under its own agreement. DoulaPaid does not receive it.

Do not email supporting documents, credentials, patient information, claims, portal screenshots, bank information, or attachments to DoulaPaid. If selected, the billing company must receive PHI directly from the provider through its own approved system. DoulaPaid receives none of it.

Common questions

Can a company apply for only one state?

Yes. Washington and Michigan are qualified as separate billing routes. A company may apply for one or both, and approval for one never implies approval for the other.

Is a phone call required?

No. Apply, answer follow-up questions, and complete contracting in writing.

Does DoulaPaid provide patient or claim data?

No. DoulaPaid does not accept patient or claim information. A selected billing company would contract directly with each provider and receive necessary information in its own approved system.

Does applying guarantee clients or revenue?

No. This is not a paid-lead marketplace, job listing, white-label subcontract, exclusivity offer, or guarantee of referrals, claim volume, collections, or compensation.

Can a percentage-of-collections company apply?

The pilot requires willingness to use fixed written terms that are independent of claim value, collections, reimbursement, referral volume, or introductions. Final compensation must be approved by healthcare counsel.

What does DoulaPaid provide before an introduction?

DoulaPaid evaluates provider-level readiness for one exact payer lane, records separate named-company consent, and sends only the approved provider business email. DoulaPaid does not promise provider volume or send patient or claim information.
