Maternity Management

Improves mother and child outcomes while reducing costs associated with complicated pregnancies and premature births

The March of Dimes estimates that one out of eight babies born in the U.S. is born prematurely, and that these babies cost employers nearly fifteen times more than full-term babies in their first year of life. With that in mind, American Health developed its Maternity Management program to provide education and support to expectant mothers in order to reduce instances of complications and subsequent high claims costs.

Our Maternity Nurse Specialists, on average, have 20 years of maternal and neonatal experience. They provide referred members with ongoing monitoring, assessment, and care planning based on risk status. Women with higher risks for complications benefit from a more aggressive case management program. All participants receive value-added materials such as calendars, brochures, coupons, and a copy of The Good Housekeeping's Illustrated Book of Pregnancy and Baby Care.

Healthier Babies and Moms = Lower Cost

In addition to providing a greater chance of preventing birth complications, American Health offers savings to benefit plans in the following ways:

  • Negotiates costs for home health care services if needed
  • Provides network steerage
  • Minimizes future complications through health management and continuous assessment
