Job description

Loula is looking for experienced postpartum doulas in the Sunnyvale area to join our network of independent doula providers.

Accept Medi-Cal and commercial insurance without the paperwork. We handle credentialing, insurance verification, billing, and payment, and pay you twice a month even when a claim is denied. Postpartum doulas can earn about $2,048 per postpartum client they bring themselves and about $1,826 per client Loula refers, when they complete all of the visits the client's plan covers. Actual earnings vary by health plan and number of visits.

About Loula

With a network of over 500 experienced and diverse doulas, Loula is building the leading provider network for birth and postpartum doula care. We partner with both Medicaid and commercial health insurance plans to make it easier for doulas to accept health insurance without the administrative burden.

Loula offers full-service support for Medicaid enrollment, credentialing, insurance verification, medical billing, and payment to doulas in California. By taking on the operational complexity, Loula empowers doulas to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care.

We believe every family deserves access to high‑quality postpartum support, not just those who can afford to pay out of pocket. Our mission is to help doulas build thriving practices while making it possible for insured families to access the care they deserve.

Why Partner with Loula?

We partner with our doulas every step of the way:

• How much can I make? About $2,048 per postpartum client you bring yourself and about $1,826 per client Loula refers, when you complete all of the visits the client's plan covers. A standard hour‑long postpartum visit pays up to $134. Earnings vary by health plan and number of visits.

• Direct deposits twice a month. Don't worry about denied claims! We pay you regardless of claim outcomes, so you're never left waiting on payers to get paid.

• Free, hassle‑free credentialing: We get you credentialed with major Medicaid and commercial insurance plans in California, at no cost to you.

• Client referrals as we grow: Our Care Navigator also matches insured families with doulas in our network when there's a fit in your area.

• Build your own practice, your way: You're an independent contractor in a non‑exclusive network, so keep your own clients and practice alongside your work with Loula.

• No minimums, no pressure: There are no client minimums or visit requirements. You decide how much or how little to take on.

• Admin? Handled: We manage insurance verification, billing, and payment so you can spend your time with clients, not paperwork.

• You're not alone: Join a network of experienced doulas with access to shared resources, community, and ongoing support.
