May 01 2024 - 8:10AM
SimpliFed, a virtual maternal health leader in lactation support,
and EmblemHealth, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health
insurers, collaborate to expand access to baby feeding and
breastfeeding services to EmblemHealth commercial, Medicaid, and
HARP members.
“EmblemHealth is committed to deploying new and creative
solutions to help families get the care they need. Our partnership
with SimpliFed is one of many ways we meet our members exactly
where they are,” said Carol Huffman, VP of Strategic Partnerships,
EmblemHealth.
SimpliFed’s one-of-a-kind platform offers a bundled baby feeding
care plan for every family. Starting during pregnancy and
continuing through postpartum, all appointments are done virtually
with International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs)
and supported by SimpliFed’s care navigators or “allies.” Sessions
can be done in various languages, and night and weekend
appointments can be accommodated for busy parents.
“SimpliFed is thrilled to help improve the maternal health
experience for EmblemHealth members,” said Andrea Ippolito, CEO of
SimpliFed. “Leveraging our national baby-feeding experts means
EmblemHealth members have access to high-quality support at no
additional cost.”
With maternal mortality rates on the rise, the need to better
support prenatal and postpartum patients is more crucial than ever.
SimpliFed’s emphasis on the complete maternal episode of care means
a more streamlined patient experience and better outcomes and care
compliance.
“Our unique care plan follows women from pregnancy to motherhood
so we can improve key HEDIS measures for prenatal and postpartum
care, such as PPD screenings and ER utilization,” said
Ippolito.
