Doula RISE reimbursement
Live in Michigan? The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is offering reimbursement for doula trainings completed by Aug. 31, 2026, retroactive to October 1, 2025. This is an incredible opportunity.
We've never seen an opportunity like this, available to so many!
If you're looking for an in-person, interactive, evidence-based training with trainers who understand the Michigan landscape, you've found it with us. And we love that you now have the opportunity to have your training reimbursed by the state of Michigan. Amazing.
Here's the process that has worked for our other doula students:
- Register and complete our birth doula or postpartum doula training, or both, by Aug. 31.
* - Become Medicaid-enrolled (we offer a Medicaid Quick-Start webinar to help you, or you can also do this on your own). Requirements to become Medicaid-enrolled: legal resident of Michigan (eligible to work), at least 18 years old, high school diploma or equivalent.
* - Submit an application to the MDHHS Doula RISE program for pre-approval by Aug. 17, 2026.
* - Submit your paperwork the MDHHS for reimbursement by Aug. 31, 2026.
