Taking Care of Baby and Me^®

Taking Care of Baby and Me^® is a comprehensive, proactive case management and care coordination program for all expectant mothers and their newborns. It offers:

• Individualized, one-on-one case management support for women at the highest risk
• Care coordination for moms who may need a little extra support
• Educational materials and information on community resources
• Incentives to keep up with prenatal and postpartum checkups and well-child visits after the baby is born
• This program helps identify pregnant women as early in their pregnancies as possible. Once pregnant enrollees are identified, we act quickly to assess obstetrical risk and ensure appropriate levels of care and case management services to mitigate risk

If you would like more information about the OB Case Management program or have a patient who would benefit from case management, call Provider Services at 800-454-3730.

Notification of pregnancy

We require notification of pregnancy after the first prenatal visit and notification of delivery following birth. You may choose to complete the notification of pregnancy and delivery in the online Interactive Care Reviewer or fax the forms to Amerigroup at 800-964-3627.

We also encourage providers to complete the Maternity Module through Availity Essentials :

1. Perform an Eligibility and Benefits request on an Amerigroup enrollee.
2. Choose one of the following benefit service types: Maternity, Obstetrical, Gynecological, or Obstetrical/Gynecological.
3. Before the benefit results screen, you will be asked if the enrollee is pregnant. Choose “Yes,” if applicable, and note the estimated due date. You can leave this blank if the due date is unknown.

After you submit your answer, you will be taken to the benefits page. In the background, a Maternity Application Form will be generated for the enrollee in the maternity application that can be accessed at any time from the Clinical menu dropdown then by selecting the Maternity application.
