Pregnancy and Postpartum Support
Support and guidance for a healthy pregnancy and beyond
If you are pregnant and covered under the GW PPO or HSP Medical plan, you have access (and are encouraged) to participate in the Pregnancy and Postpartum Support program through Progyny. The program is designed to care for every stage of an individual’s pregnancy and postpartum journey. Progyny provides ongoing support, guidance, and education for expecting parents and those newly postpartum as well as personalized support from dedicated Pregnancy and Postpartum Coaches (PPCs).
A PPC can schedule virtual visits with lactation consultants and baby feeding experts to provide participants a personalized feeding plan, and 24/7 access to an exclusive app. These consultations and educational resources are designed to empower and support overall participant well-being.
The Progyny Pregnancy & Postpartum Support Program provides the following benefits for GW PPO and GW HSP medical plan participants and their covered dependents:
