Ouma Case Study
Ouma as the Last Resort
A 42-year-old woman with an IVF pregnancy at 8 weeks contacted us from the ER as she experienced complications from diabetes and a newly-diagnosed COVID-19 infection. She contacted Ouma due to refusal by her OB and primary care physician to be seen for initiation of diabetic management. She met with the Ouma diabetic educator and maternal-fetal medicine physician the same day, and medical supplies were called in. Within 24 hours, given markedly elevated values, an insulin regimen was called in, and self-injection training provided. She was subsequently handed off to a local maternal-fetal medicine physician for management.

Outcome: Potential heart defect in the baby avoided by limiting early pregnancy high sugar exposure, along with maternal complications from diabetes.

End-to-End Coverage

The Patient Journey

From preconception to postpartum, Ouma providers support patients in every step of their pregnancy journey with real clinical care.

Prenatal Care

Whether prenatal, or even pre-prenatal, Ouma has expert coverage for all practical maternal health needs to bring peace of mind during an exciting but challenging time.
Preconception Care
A visit with one of our clinicians before the pregnancy to reduce the risk of adverse health effects for the woman, fetus, and neonate by optimizing health, addressing modifiable risk factors, and providing education about healthy pregnancy.
Behavioral Health/Substance-Use Disorders Support
Our specialists are well-versed in both and can help with counseling regarding complications related to substance use disorders, formulate care plans for treatment during pregnancy, pain management during and after delivery, as well as communication with pediatric providers regarding the possibility of neonatal withdrawal, and offer behavioral health support including diagnosis, treatment, and therapy with focus on coping mechanisms and non-pharmacologic intervention
Interprofessional Consults
There is a shortage of MFM specialists so providers often call a nearby one for advice on a difficult case. We feel that a more comprehensive process (documented with all details available to the consultant is better care).
Remote Patient Monitoring
More pregnant people suffer from conditions such as diabetes and hypertension in pregnancy necessitating frequent visits (as often as weekly the last 2 months). Ouma deploys market ready RPM solutions to save the member valuable travel time while delivering world class medical care in the comfort of their home, with care on their schedule not the provider’s.
Prenatal Safety Net
Follow up visits, consultations, prescriptions, and diagnostics on-demand

Postpartum Care

Ouma's work doesn't stop after the baby is born – the work of behavioral health specialists and lactation consultants is crucial to transitioning to regular life.
Lactation Consultations
Many women don’t know who to call for problems after having the baby and many providers do not have all the necessary resources. This is why we take postpartum care to them including access to teleLactation services.
Behavioral Health/Substance-Use Disorders Support
Our specialists are well-versed in both and can help with counseling regarding complications related to substance use disorders, formulate care plans for treatment during pregnancy, pain management during and after delivery, as well as communication with pediatric providers regarding the possibility of neonatal withdrawal, and offer behavioral health support including diagnosis, treatment, and therapy with focus on coping mechanisms and non-pharmacologic intervention
