A virtual maternity benefit for employers and health captives
The Ouma benefit is a win-win: employers build morale and save costs by enabling safe, timely pregnancies that avoid the NICU. Employees get access to 24/7/365 unlimited visits with physicians, behavioral health specialists, and lactation consultants on demand.
A member experience built for pregnancy
Employees don't just gain a new benefit, they gain an all-encompassing and always-available pregnancy advocate.
Ouma as the last resort
When no one else would see her
A 42-year-old woman with an IVF pregnancy at 8 weeks contacted Ouma from the ER after experiencing complications from diabetes and a newly diagnosed COVID-19 infection. She reached out because her OB and primary care physician both refused to see her for initiation of diabetic management.
She met with the Ouma diabetic educator and maternal-fetal medicine physician the same day. Medical supplies were called in within hours, and given markedly elevated values, an insulin regimen was prescribed within 24 hours with self-injection training. She was then handed off to a local MFM physician for ongoing management.
A potential heart defect avoided by limiting early high-sugar exposure, along with the maternal complications of diabetes.
