Start with the client state and service date.
Use plain words for the support you gave.
Keep real client details in private records.

What each line means
Record what happened, when it happened, the support provided, and the next step.
- Client stateWrite down the state where the client is covered. State rules decide what a visit note needs.
- Service dateWrite the date of the visit or service. This should match the claim and your private record.
- Visit typeName the type of support, such as prenatal, labor and birth, postpartum, or another covered service.
- Time or lengthKeep the start time, end time, or total time if the state or payer asks for it.
- Support givenUse plain words for what you helped with, taught, shared, planned, or followed up on.
- Next stepNote the next visit, referral, resource, care-team update, or follow-up task if there is one.
- Required proofKeep signatures, recommendations, prior approval notes, or delivery proof when your state asks for them.

Common questions
What should a Medicaid doula visit note include?
A Medicaid doula visit note usually starts with the client state, service date, visit type, time or length, support provided, next step, and any required proof. The exact list depends on the state and payer.
Can I use the same visit note template in every state?
No. Each state may require different details, forms, signatures, visit limits, or proof. Check the state and payer rules.
Should I put real visit notes into public pages?
No. Keep names, Medicaid IDs, dates of birth, exact visit notes, and claim numbers in private records.
