Frequently asked questions about the Maven Maternity Program

 

How does Maven work with my health plan? 

Call WHA Member Services at 888.WHA.PERS (888.942.7377) or 888.877.5378 TDD/TTY, Monday through Sunday (excluding holidays), 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. to verify your eligibility for Maven. 

How much does Maven cost? 

If you are eligible for Maven, you and your partner can use all services and resources at no additional cost. No out-of-pocket costs or copayments. 

How do I qualify for Maven? 

If you are currently pregnant, up until 3 months postpartum, or have recently experienced a pregnancy loss within the last 12 months, you are eligible to sign up for Maven.

What types of specialists can I connect with through Maven? 

You can use Maven to book unlimited coaching and educational virtual appointments with providers across more than 30 specialties, including OB-GYNs, mental health specialists, lactation consultants, doulas, and more. 

What if I already have an in-person OB-GYN? 

You should continue to see your in-person provider. Maven provides additional support to your care as our providers include a range of specialists you might not have access to—from midwives and doulas to diabetes coaches. Your Maven Care Advocate can also help you find in-person, in-network providers, if needed. 

How does Maven support partners? 

Partners can sign up with their own account and benefit from the same provider appointments, articles, videos, and virtual classes. Those enrolled in the Maven program also receive content that’s specific to the partner experience. 

Do Maven’s providers speak languages other than English? 

Providers on Maven speak over 35 different languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, French, German, Hebrew and many others. In addition, Maven offers simultaneous translation similar to what you might experience in a hospital or clinic if you didn’t speak the same language as the provider. Your Maven Care Advocate can help you navigate to the best providers to fit your needs. 

How do I and/or my partner sign up? 

Enrollment occurs digitally using a computer or mobile device. Start by activating your Maven membership.
