Enjoy extra perks
Here are some benefits you can enjoy just for being a new mom.
If you’re a Medicaid MMA member, you may benefit from doula services. A doula is a trained birthing guide who isn’t a doctor. They provide you with personal support before, during and after birth. They often help make this journey more personal and meaningful for you. To get doula care, you’ll need pre-approval from your provider.
A doula can help you:
- Make a birth plan
- Learn about healthy pregnancy, childbirth, care after delivery and newborn health
- Make decisions that are right for you, based on your wishes and beliefs
- Assign your birth team, including partners, family members and medical staff
- Connect to other resources and services, like rides, food and housing support, quit tobacco programs, substance use treatment and more
We cover these doula services for pregnant members ages 14 to 55:
- Home care visits before baby is born
- Newborn visits
- Care after baby is born
You can get as many doula services as you need. They are all covered by your plan.
You can get a no-cost breast pump to help you breastfeed your baby. You don’t need pre-approval (prior authorization). Just call 1-800-441-5501 (TTY: 711). Ask to speak with our case management department to get your pump.
Benefits of breast pump
If you’re breastfeeding, you’ll want to empty your breasts regularly. You can do that by feeding or using a breast pump. This prevents your breasts from becoming full and painful. Many women find it helpful to use a breast pump.
You can pump breast milk when it works for you. Then your baby can get the best nutrition, no matter what your schedule. A breast pump also gives other family members the chance to feed and bond with your baby.
To get help with breastfeeding, you can:
- Call the National Breastfeeding Helpline at 1‑800‑994‑9662 (TDD: 1‑888‑220‑5446)
- Find support online from La Leche League International

Extra help during pregnancy
We’re here to help you stay healthy through your pregnancy. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, a case manager can help you get the special care you need. You’ll get support, including info about preterm labor and birth.
What is preterm labor?
Preterm (early) labor is labor that starts before 37 weeks of pregnancy. It can cause an earlier birth, which may lead to health problems that can affect the baby.
Any pregnant woman can have preterm labor. It may start for no reason, but you’re at a higher risk if you:
- Are carrying more than one baby (twins, triplets or more)
- Have had preterm labor or an early birth in the past
- Use drugs or alcohol while pregnant
- Smoke or use other forms of nicotine while pregnant
- Have vaginal bleeding during pregnancy
You can get personal help through our care management program. You’ll work with a case manager who can help you:
- Learn more about your pregnancy
- Make a care plan that’s right for you
- Get services and care
