Pregnancy-Related Support Services

Home visiting services provide support to pregnant women during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as support for parents and children during the postpartum period and up to two or three years of age. Home visiting services include prenatal home visits, postpartum home visits, and infant home visits.

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

MPC’s MOM Program focuses on improving care for pregnant and postpartum members with opioid use disorder (OUD). Benefits continue for one year following the end of the pregnancy. The MOM Program addresses gaps in care for pregnant and postpartum members with OUD through Care Management. Care coordination ensures members:

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

To enroll, members must:

• Be enrolled with MPC.
• Be currently pregnant.
• Have current or past opioid misuse.
