Coverage You May Not Know You Have
Many insurance plans cover doulas,
midwives, and home births.
The United States is in the middle of a maternal care revolution. Coverage for holistic birth support is expanding rapidly — and most families don't know what they're entitled to.
Doula support
More than 12 states now mandate Medicaid coverage for doula services, and private insurers including Cigna, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare are rapidly expanding coverage. Studies show doula support reduces C-section rates by up to 39%.
Midwifery care
Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are covered by Medicaid in all 50 states and by most private insurance plans. CNM-attended births have lower intervention rates, lower preterm birth rates, and higher breastfeeding initiation.
Home & birth center births
Planned home births with a qualified midwife are covered by many state Medicaid programs and a growing number of private plans. Birth center births are often covered at the same rate as hospital births under the ACA.
Lactation consultation
The ACA requires most insurance plans to cover lactation support at no cost. This includes visits with an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) during pregnancy and after birth.

Practitioner Reviews
“Ama understands something that mainstream medicine is only beginning to catch up to: the mother and baby are one dyad, not two separate patients. The way this platform centers that relationship — from registry to village to nourish — gives me hope that we are finally building the kind of support system every birthing person deserves.”

“As a functional nutritionist who specializes in prenatal care, I cannot overstate how meaningful it is to see Ama embed nutrition into the registry experience itself. Prenatal nutrition isn't a supplement — it's the foundation of a healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Ama is the first platform I've seen that treats it that way.”
—Maya V.
Functional Nutritionist, MS, RDN · Austin, TX
“I've worked as a postpartum doula for eleven years. The loneliness families feel in those first weeks is preventable — and Ama is one of the few platforms actively doing something about it. The meal train, the village tab, the registry built around real support rather than stuff. This is what the fourth trimester has always needed.”
