Healthy Expectations
AvMed's Healthy Expectations Program offers support, services, and
information to expectant mothers. While the program is not meant
to replace the care of doctors or other providers, it can give
mothers-to-be valuable assistance during their pregnancy. The goal
of the program is to give babies the greatest chance of being born
strong and healthy.
The program offers expectant mothers accessibility to a maternity care
specialist, access to AvMed's Nurse On-Call toll-free 24-hour telephone
line [(888) 866-5432] for questions and information, and a publication
entitled Maternity Moments. In addition, if a member is
identified as having a "high risk" pregnancy, she will be assigned a
care coordinator to assist her throughout the pregnancy to help prevent
premature delivery.
Members are referred to the Healthy Expectations Program after notifying
member services [(800) 882-8633] that they are pregnant. |
