- How Does the Pregnancy Promise Program Work?
The Indiana Pregnancy Program provides each participant with a specially trained Pregnancy Program case manager from one of the state’s Medicaid managed care health plans. The Pregnancy Promise Program case manager coordinates care and builds teamwork across all the professionals who care for a pregnant woman with substance use disorder.
The Pregnancy Promise Program case manager will meet regularly with the pregnant woman by phone or in person to provide resources and supports beginning in pregnancy through 12 months postpartum. Participants work with the same Pregnancy Promise Program case manager throughout their time in the program. The Pregnancy Promise Program aims to help parents meet their needs for things like food, housing, clothing, medical care, including physical and mental health care, and SUD treatment and recovery services so that families can thrive together at home and in the community.
