Taking Care of Baby and Me
Taking Care of Baby and Me® is a comprehensive proactive case management and care coordination program for all expectant mothers and their newborns. It offers:
- Individualized, one-on-one case management support for women at the highest risk.
- Care coordination for moms who may need a little extra support.
- Educational materials and information on community resources.
- Incentives to keep up with prenatal and postpartum checkups and well-child visits after the baby is born.
This program helps identify pregnant women as early in their pregnancies as possible. Once pregnant members are identified, we act quickly to assess obstetrical risk and ensure appropriate levels of care and case manage¬ment services to mitigate risk.
If you would like more information about the OB Case Management program or have a patient who would benefit from case management, call the Case Management Department at 1-304-347-2475, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

You and Your Baby in the NICU program
For parents with infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), we offer the You and Your Baby in the NICU program and a NICU Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (NICU PTSD) program.
Parents receive education and support from case managers on how to be involved in the care of their babies, visit the NICU, interact with hospital care providers, and prepare for discharge. Parents are provided with an educational resource outlining successful strategies they may deploy to collaborate with the care team.
If you would like more information about these programs or have a patient who would benefit from case management, please call the Case Management Department at 1-304-347-2475, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Substance use disorders in pregnancy and neonatal abstinence syndrome
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are on the rise and are of particular concern in women of childbearing age who are, or may become, pregnant. OB providers have a unique opportunity to help break the pattern of opioid misuse, thus, avoiding health consequences for both mother and child. The first step in this practice is to identify, treat and/or refer to treatment women who are using/abusing unhealthy substances. UniCare is here to support providers, pregnant members and their little ones on the way.
