MATERNITY PROGRAMME
Registration process
Pregnant members can contact Polmed on 0860 765 633 to register for the Maternity Programme. Members are also identified through pregnancy-related claims and contacted to be registered on the Programme. Once registered, telephonic follow-up takes place to:
| Provide information and guidance on all aspects of the pregnancy, confinement and post-natal period | |
| Provide a pregnancy and birth pamphlet | |
| Authorise pregnancy vitamins and minerals, as approved by the Scheme, for six months | |
| Refer complicated pregnancies to a high-risk maternity Case Manager | |
| Provide a Care Plan to guide the doctor in the appropriate treatment for the duration of the pregnancy. |
Members are discharged from the Programme eight weeks after the delivery of the baby. For any hospitalisation during the pregnancy, pre-authorisation must be obtained.
