Nebraska LB701 would reimburse doula services by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Nebraska LB701 would amend the Medical Assistance Act to allow the Department of Health and Human Services to reimburse doula services. A doula is a trained professional providing emotional, physical, and informational support for individuals before, during, and after labor and birth. The bill mandates the department to establish a work group to develop an implementation plan, including reimbursement rates and training requirements for doulas. The work group must submit the plan by October 1, 2026.
