Bring improved Pregnancy Health to your employees and their families
Pregnancy can be one of the most vulnerable and uncertain periods in an employee’s life, with over 25% of pregnancies experiencing some complications worldwide. For large employers, supporting expecting families isn’t just about benefits—it’s about safety, peace of mind, and workplace retention.
The problem is bigger than most know
- The United States sees over 60,000 cases of severe maternal health issues every year; many are preventable with timely intervention and education.
- The right program can reduce complications, absenteeism, and improve overall family wellness.
- Healthy Families mean healthy and productive workers.
Here’s a short video from our Founder and CEO, Dave Asra:
The cost to your company is significant
Pregnancy is not just a personal milestone for your employees—it is one of the most expensive medical events your health plan funds, driving higher annual claims and, ultimately, higher premiums for your organization. For commercially insured employees, total medical spending associated with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care averages about $20,400 per birth, with roughly $17,700 of that paid directly by the employer-sponsored health plan. When complications occur—such as C-sections, severe maternal morbidity, or preterm birth—costs can easily double, creating a disproportionate impact on your claims experience and renewal negotiations.
- Average total cost of a pregnancy episode (prenatal through postpartum) for employer-covered members: ≈$20,416, with ≈$17,674 borne by the plan.
- C-section deliveries increase average total episode costs to ≈$28,998 versus ≈$15,712 for vaginal births—an additional ≈$13,000 per case largely hitting the plan.
- Severe maternal morbidity (ICU stays, major surgery, etc.) more than doubles per-patient maternity costs in commercial plans (≈$50,000 vs. ≈$23,800), heavily skewing group claims and renewal rates.
- Preterm and low-birthweight infants add tens of thousands in neonatal and NICU spending per case, with private/employer plans shouldering an estimated additional $47,000–$78,000 per affected infant.
- Across a large workforce, even a small percentage of avoided pregnancy emergencies can add millions in claims, directly driving up your loss ratio and the premiums you pay in subsequent plan years.
