Midwives and doulas can each play an essential role in caring for pregnant individuals and helping to ensure that the birthing experience occurs in a safe and respectful environment, despite having different certifications and training. While midwives are often covered by insurance, coverage for doulas varies, with some insurance companies fully covering them, some partially, and some not at all.
