How do I sign up for Healthy You, Healthy Baby?
Call us or complete our Pregnancy Notification form to get contacted by one of our Maternal Child Health Case Managers.
Next, you will be contacted by one of our Maternal Child Health Case Managers so they can provide assistance with managing your health goals.
You’ll also get a Health Assessment. This assessment highlights individual health needs you may have during your pregnancy.
Then we’ll start your pregnancy plan that includes talking with you about your needs, your goals, and the programs and services that are available to you.
Do I qualify for care management?
Short answer: Yes! As a CHPW Apple Health member, if you need or want care management, you can get it.
Our team of OB, NICU, and Pediatric case managers provide individualized support during and after your pregnancy.
We especially encourage you to request care management if any of the following applies to you:
- I’ve had a high-risk pregnancy or delivery in the past.
- I have early contractions, bleeding, and/or a lot of vomiting.
- I have diabetes, hypertension, depression, COPD, or another chronic condition.
- I’d like help getting rides to and from medical appointments.
- I need housing assistance, help finding food banks, or other community-based services.
What is a case manager?
Case managers work with you to define and meet health goals that you decide on together. Many CHPW case managers are licensed social workers, nurses, or specialists.
Our approach uses clinical and evidence-based guidelines, which means they have been tested and shown to be helpful.
Case management also supports the relationship between you and your doctors. We make sure you’re all on the same page, and we can help you adjust your care to better serve your needs.
