Participating Providers

Doula Support

Doulas provide three kinds of services: prenatal visits, attendance at labor and delivery, and postpartum visits. The perinatal visits are often in the birthing parent’s home. In these visits, the doula and birthing parent discuss such topics as:

• Anatomy of labor and birth,
• Common medical birth procedures,
• Common comfort measures during labor and birth,
• Mental wellness and self-care,
• Communication skills and self-advocacy during labor and delivery,
• Breastfeeding benefits and techniques,
• Community resources, and
• Postpartum support for the birthing parent and baby.

Doulas also attend labor and delivery to provide emotional and physical support.

Maternal Opioid Misuse (MOM) Program

The MOM model focuses on improving care for pregnant and postpartum MPC members diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD). Maryland’s MOM model addresses gaps in the care of pregnant and postpartum MPC members with OUD.

MOM case managers will coordinate care and ensure that members:

1. Receive needed health care services
2. Access to appropriate social services in their community
3. Remain connected with the appropriate care

To enroll, you must be:

• An MPC Member
• Currently pregnant
• Current or past opioid misuse diagnosis
