Perinatal Care Management

Perinatal Care Management is a voluntary program for HUSKY Health members who are pregnant or have recently given birth and have certain health and social risk factors that may require special monitoring or attention. Our Care Management team works with pregnant members, their families, and their providers to support their best health during and after pregnancy. They provide information on what to expect during pregnancy, at birth, and after delivery, as well as how to recognize warning signs of any possible problems.

Once you have enrolled, a nurse will be assigned to you to provide education and support, either by videoconference, in person, or over the phone. They can teach you about benefits, including breast pumps and blood pressure measurement devices, and connect you to available resources such as WIC services. If you have a baby who has spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a nurse can provide support for up to one year after your baby’s discharge from the NICU.

Below are checklists for you to use during and after your pregnancy to help keep you and your baby as healthy as possible. Your Perinatal Care Management nurse can help you complete the items on these lists. Follow the links for other helpful resources.

Enroll by calling: 1.800.859.9889 and dial extension 2025.

One of our staff will talk with you to see how we can best help you.

Learn about what to watch for during your pregnancy, in the year after delivery, and how to talk to your healthcare provider.

Whether you are pregnant or gave birth within the last year, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider about any physical or emotional concerns you may have. For tips and guidance to help you share your concerns with your healthcare provider, click here.
