You have enough to think about. Let us help you make sense of what’s covered, what’s not, and what your options are.
The good news is many of our services can be covered by major medical or your health-savings account (HSA). That’s because insurance companies are recognizing that the right care during pregnancy and postpartum supports a more healthy parent and baby.
At Partum Health, we know how big of a difference the right care and support can make during pregnancy and postpartum. That’s because we’ve lived it. And that’s why we’re putting our hearts into bringing this care to new and growing families. We hope you’ll join us.
Treat yourself to a better fertility, pregnancy and postpartum experience.
We work around your needs. Whether you need a service immediately or are planning for further out, we do our best to find a care expert to help. Either way, we’ll get back to you within 24-48 hours.
Many of our services are covered because insurance companies recognize how important whole-person care is for better health outcomes. Oftentimes lactation consulting, mental health, physical therapy, and nutrition counseling are covered by insurance, while birth doula care can be covered by an HSA. We’ll work with you to make sure you understand your options and help make it easier any way we can.
Once we get to know you, your family, and the services you are interested in, we'll match you with a care expert we recommend. Or if you want, we’re happy to schedule informational interviews with a few of our experts, so you can find the person you connect with best.
Yes. Just like in parenthood, it’s good to be flexible. We want you and your family to get everything you need, so if you realize you want to add or cancel something along the way, just let us know. We’re happy to help.
It’s a good idea to start planning for most of the services by your second trimester. But if you’re running a little ahead or a little behind that timeframe, don’t sweat it. We’ve got you.
Many of our providers can offer appointments this week. Once you connect with the Partum Care team, you can schedule same-week appointments, get on-demand care from credentialed providers, and chat with us 24/7.
