How this course fits
A supplemental course. It builds your understanding of Michigan Medicaid participation. It is not a doula certification and it includes no fieldwork.
Completion is recorded. When every lesson and assessment is finished, a certificate of course completion is added to your student dashboard.
Participation is decided elsewhere. Whether you may provide Medicaid-covered services is determined by the State of Michigan and the health plans under their current rules.
Tuition
Pricing to be confirmed. The confirmed price will be published on this page before enrollment opens.
Remote expert support
Questions About Michigan Medicaid?
Get help from a real doula education expert while you work through Michigan Medicaid requirements, documentation and billing concepts.
Support is remote, by live chat from inside the student system, during published staffed hours. Experts can explain course material, walk through a documentation or billing concept again, and help you find the official source for a requirement. They cannot make payer-specific determinations, give legal advice, or enroll you with Medicaid on your behalf.
Expert support is available to enrolled students inside the student system once enrollment opens.
