Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are launching a new family building and maternity support offering for members in 2023 through a partnership with digital health platform Maven Clinic. Show
The program will be an extension of members' fertility and maternity benefits and will include 24/7 care navigation support, education and virtual clinics with obstetricians, pediatricians, lactation consultants, pediatric sleep coaches and psychologists, according to an Aug. 10 news release. The three programs on the platform will consist of family building, maternity, and parenting and pediatrics. Family building will include resources for fertility treatment, preconception care, egg freezing, and adoption and surrogacy. Maternity will be a yearlong program with prenatal and postpartum resources, NICU support, high-risk pregnancy management and partner tracking. Parenting and pediatrics will provide parents with children aged 1 to 10 years with resources for pediatric care, parental coaching, special needs support and child care navigation. A reimbursement tool, Maven Wallet, will be available for the family building program so self-funded employers can reimburse employees for adoption and surrogacy costs.

Published June 19, 2020 While data shows troubling trends in maternal health for the U.S., Blue Cross Blue Shield companies are creating supportive interventions for mothers-to-be. The most recent Blue Cross Blue Shield, The Health of America Report® on maternal health trends found that an increasing number of women are experiencing pregnancy and childbirth complications, as well as postpartum depression. These trends are made even more concerning in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. As a result of social distancing practices and restrictions, over 1 in 4 women have missed prenatal appointments, which can help prevent complications. Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies are at work to reverse these adverse trends, for the health of women and babies. In addition to creating wellness programs to care for mother and baby pre-, during and post-birth, they are also using case managers to intervene on members' behalf during difficult times.
