Doula services

We know having a baby can be stressful. MassHealth offers a doula program to give you extra support.

A doula is a non-medical provider who can support you while you are pregnant, during labor and delivery, and after your baby is born. A doula can visit you at home to help you get ready for delivery, learn how to take care of your newborn and more! A doula does not take the place of your provider.

Behavioral health

Behavioral Health Service Navigation is a foundation of Tufts Health Plan’s whole-person care approach. Our highly trained and dedicated teams are ready to guide you from the very first phone call, to help ensure a compassionate and streamlined experience for you and your covered family members.
