PROCESS

The processes are similar for each program

  • Once we receive the referral, a letter is sent to the member introducing the program. She can call or return the lower portion of the letter with a decision about participating.
  • A comprehensive risk assessment is completed during the initial contact. If risk is identified at any time during the pregnancy, the ROSEBUD® nurse will discuss case management services with the member and the health plan.
  • With each contact, teaching is provided related to the member's specific diagnoses, warning signs of pregnancy and healthy lifestyles.
  • Educational materials are sent relevant to the gestational age, diagnoses or concerns, educational level and language.
  • The member is given a toll-free number and encouraged to call to discuss changes in her pregnancy and ask non-emergent questions.
  • A satisfaction survey is sent after case completion requesting input about their experience with the program.
