Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Quality care during your pregnancy is critical to your health and the
health of your growing baby. Your prenatal care should begin upon the
confirmation of your pregnancy.
Becoming pregnant is a joyful time, but for many it can be overwhelming
with so much to do and think about. Will I be a good parent? Will I have
enough money? Who will care for the baby so I can continue to work? Am
I eating the right mix of foods? In addition, most importantly is the
baby developing normally? Wow, what a laundry list of life changing events
and issues to keep your mind occupied for months to come.
The BabyLink’s program is there to help you along the way to serve as
an added resource for a happy healthy pregnancy and delivery. BabyLink
is designed to help promote the health and well-being of the mother and
baby. Not all employers opt for this benefit. Please check with your employer
prior to attempting enrollment to insure that you are in fact eligible
for this enhanced benefit. Enrollment occurs when the expectant mother
contacts Mutual Assurance Administrators (800.825.3540 or 405-848.1975)
as soon as she is aware of the pregnancy. There is no additional cost
for this service if your employer is an active participant.
The BabyLink’s programs consist of:
- Risk Assessment - Conducted at milestone intervals
during pregnancy, BabyLink's computerized risk assessment identifies
potential risk for poor pregnancy outcomes. The risk assessments include
an initial assessment, a follow-up assessment in early pregnancy, a
follow-up assessment at 24-28 weeks gestation, and the collection of
post-partum outcome data.
- Information Line - BabyLink’s provides support and
information to pregnant women and their families through BabyLine. This
24-hour toll-free service begins after the initial assessment and continues
six weeks after the baby is born.
- Education - BabyLink’s provides verbal and written
education based on the individual needs of the participant throughout
her pregnancy. All education is consistent with the guidelines established
by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
- Outcome Data Collection and Reports - BabyLink’s has
designed its reports to enhance customer understanding of the clinical
and financial outcomes of maternal and newborn episodes of care. Data
management capabilities go well beyond the maternity outcome reporting
requirements of HEDIS. Monthly reports provide assistance in tracking
the status of women referred to the program.
- Customer Service - A toll-free customer assistance
line is available to ensure timely response to customer needs. A dedicated
Customer Relations Coordinator will facilitate periodic program reviews
with the customer after the program is implemented.
This costly and extremely helpful benefit is free.
All you have to do is call 800.825.3540 or 405.848.1975 to sign up.
Just remember it is not a benefit unless you use it, so use it often.
Rest assured, BabyLink’s nurses treat all situations confidentially, always
putting you and your baby’s best interest first.
We look forward to hearing from you!
