I was wondering if state insurance covers home births/midwife/doula?

Depends on the midwife/homebirth-your best bet is to call potential midwives and see if they accept it. Doulas are not but you can use health savings account funds.

It did when I was birthing my babies an my place, but policies change all the time-- don't know what is current here right now. You might be able to find info on their website.
