Our clients agree: Internal Maternity & NICU Care Management programs are insufficient to deliver better outcomes while reducing the cost of care
Even if your plan has a robust case management program, supporting women through the entire reproductive cycle is challenging and requires dedicated expertise – particularly if a NICU event occurs. The low-volume/high-cost nature of these cases creates a unique set of challenges.
By engaging ProgenyHealth to assume care management of the entire process – from moderate/high-risk pregnancies to NICU births and postpartum issues – health plans can offer greater value to their members and enhanced support to their providers while delivering better health outcomes and lower cost of care.

Alarming NICU population trends
The US prematurity birth rate is now 10% and climbing. As cited in this Fact Book from the March of Dimes, the earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of NICU admission and long-term disability. On an average day in the US:
- 1,045 babies are born preterm (less than 37 weeks gestation)
- 874 babies are born with low birth weight
- Approximately 1 in 8 babies start life in the NICU – often driving the top 1% of utilization costs
Health plans don’t have sufficient NICU case volume to develop dedicated programs and specialist teams required to impact maternity/NICU outcomes and total cost of care.
Large employers can be significantly impacted by catastrophic claims and lost employee productivity related to these cases.
