Prenatal Care Program

One of the most important gifts a mother-to-be can give her baby is a healthy pregnancy. Research shows that expectant mothers following good prenatal care practices can give their babies the best advantage possible - good health.

The Prenatal Care Program from Nippon Life Benefits helps identify health risks during pregnancy. By recognizing these risks early, specially-trained obstetrical nurses are able to guide parents in the right direction for early intervention.

An Additional Benefit to Medical Customers

Available to employees eligible for maternity plan benefits, this voluntary program is offered at no charge. In addition, Nippon Life Benefits provides a $100 incentive to employees and dependents who complete the program. Check out our Prenatal Care Program flyer for more information.

How the Program Works

The program's experienced Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) work with participating employees to complete a health/obstetric risk assessment. If an employee is not considered high-risk for complications during pregnancy, the same LPN will follow her pregnancy's progress.

If there is a risk for complications - or if complications develop unexpectedly - the employee will work with a Registered Nurse (RN) case manager for the remainder of her pregnancy. The RN will collaborate with the mother-to-be and her treatment team to help promote a healthy delivery.

Women who enroll in the Prenatal Care Program will receive an introductory letter and educational booklet after completing the risk assessment, as well as the book What You Need to Know About Pregnancy. There is no obligation to join - or once enrolled, to continue with the program.
