What kind of support do you need?
The fastest path is usually: choose the state, check the packet, then handle private client details in your own records.
1. Choose the client state
Start with the state where the client is covered. DoulaPaid keeps rules, source links, health plan notes, and launch status together by state.
2. Check the packet
Use free tools and the packet worksheet to check rates, visit notes, missing items, and denial risk without entering client details.
3. Keep private details out
Real client names, IDs, service dates, visit notes, claim numbers, and payment details belong only in approved private records.

What does DoulaPaid do?

Help by situation
Start with the closest question. You do not need to understand the whole billing system at once.

Keep the claim status, payer response, expected amount, paid amount, and next action visible.
Beginner path
Open the page that matches the step you are on. You can come back here whenever billing starts to feel too big.
Step 1
Start with the client state
Medicaid doula rules change by state. Choose the state where the client is covered before checking anything else.
Step 2
Check whether doulas are covered
Look for covered services, visit limits, approval rules, and who is allowed to bill.
Step 3
Confirm your provider setup
Check enrollment, NPI details, payer portal access, and whether you bill directly or through a group.
Step 4
Check the client for the service date
Eligibility is checked for the date of service. Keep real client details in private records.
Step 5
Keep simple visit notes
Save the service date, visit type, time or length, support provided, and any required proof.
Step 6
Build the claim packet
Bring setup, eligibility, visit notes, codes, forms, rates, and approval checks together before billing.
Step 7
Submit or hand off the claim
Know whether you, a group, a clinic, an agency, or a biller enters the claim with the payer.
Step 8
Track payment or denial follow-up
After submission, watch the payer response and choose the next action if the claim is waiting, denied, or partly paid.
Helpful reminders
These are the basics worth keeping close when you are new to Medicaid billing.
You do not need to learn every billing word on day one.
The client state comes before codes, forms, rates, or payment questions.
Coverage, eligibility, and provider setup are different checks.
A rate is not a promise that a claim will be paid.
Public pages are for learning. Real client details belong in private records.
High-intent starting points
These are the pages most likely to answer search questions before someone is ready to create an account.
