Horizon NJ Health offers a new member benefit, doula services. A doula is a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support throughout the perinatal period (the weeks right before birth).

The services include:

• Prenatal visits

• Labor and delivery support

• Postpartum (after birth) visits

There are two levels of doula services:

1. Standard care

• Up to eight visits in the prenatal or postpartum period, including the option of one initial prenatal visit

• Your doula will be at the delivery

2. Enhanced care

• Available to members who are 19 years old or younger at the time of the first doula service visit

• Up to 12 visits in the prenatal or postpartum period, including the option of one initial prenatal visit

• Your doula will be at the delivery

If you have questions about doula services or need help finding a doula, please call Member Services at 1-800-682-9090 (TTY 711), 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
