Summary
Health Net is clarifying that the California Data Exchange Framework Data-Sharing Agreement does NOT apply to doulas. This is a correction to a previous erroneous communication (Policy 26-798) sent on June 29, 2026, which mistakenly required doulas to sign the agreement. No action is needed for doula providers to maintain participation.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing and provider relations staff should disregard the June 29, 2026 provider update (Policy 26-798) requiring doula providers to sign the California Data Exchange Agreement. No signature or compliance action is required from doula providers. If any doulas have already signed the agreement in response to the previous communication, no corrective billing action is necessary, but you may notify them of this clarification for their records.
