Health Analyst/Doula Hub Coordinator

1 month ago


Los Angeles, United States Heluna Health Full time
Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, implemented the coverage of doula services as a benefit on January 1, 2023. Through the benefit, pregnant Medi-Cal members can request and receive Medi-Cal coverage for full-spectrum doula services. Doula support has been shown to improve birth outcomes, maternal satisfaction with the birth experience, and to reduce medical intervention during labor. These positive impacts are critical in Los Angeles County, where - in parallel with national trends - there are vast racial and economic disparities in infant and maternal health outcomes and a history of inadequate, discriminatory health care for women and birthing people of color and their families.

In February 2023, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors directed the Department of Public Health (DPH), Department of Health Services, and the Anti-Racism, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative to propose a plan for a Doula Hub to assure the Medi-Cal benefit rollout was equitable and free of administrative roadblocks for doulas and clients alike. Since then, some public and private funding has been allocated to this Hub for doulas to address core needs.

The Hub will ensure benefit implementation is jointly and equitably shouldered by Medi-Cal health plans, the County, community partners, and doulas, and to enable doulas to prioritize those most at risk of adverse birth outcomes. The work of the Hub will complement the ongoing efforts of direct service doula programs, statewide benefit implementation workgroups, maternal health advocates, and health plans/regulators.

The Doula Hub will facilitate Medi-Cal doula benefit implementation in five areas:

  1. Doula Training and Health Care System Integration
  2. Medi-Cal Contracting and Billing Assistance
  3. Workforce & Organizational Development
  4. Quality Assurance & Evaluation
  5. Communications/Public Awareness Efforts (to doulas, Medi-Cal members, and providers)


This is a full-time benefitted position. Employment is provided by Heluna Health.

The pay rate for this position is $94,000 annually.
