Everyone Deserves a doula
Every doula deserves to be paid.
We did it. 2021 is the year we finally passed the RI Doula Reimbursement Act.
The RI Doula Reimbursement Act ensures that doula services are reimbursable by every Rhode Island insurance plan, thereby increasing access for families and creating a pathway toward a living wage for working doulas.
