MOM Matters Pregnancy Program

Support for You and Your Baby

Every pregnancy is different. MOM Matters helps Highmark Wholecare members before, during, and after birth. You can talk to a nurse on the phone or get visits at your home. This program is at no cost to you.

How We Help You

Our team is here to answer questions and help you every step of the way:

  • Find a Doctor: We help you find a doctor for you or a baby doctor (pediatrician). We also help you set up visits. Call us as soon as you find out you are pregnant!
  • Rides to Doctor Visits: We can help you get free, safe rides to and from your appointments.
  • Stop Smoking: Get free help to quit smoking by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
  • Earn Rewards: Get money when you go to your pregnancy and check-up visits.
  • Free Supplies and Classes: Get free birth classes and breast pumps ordered by your doctor.

In-Home Visits (Maternal Home Visiting)

You can meet one-on-one with a health expert right at your home. This support is available while you are pregnant and until your child is 2 years old.

Your home visitor can help you:

  • Baby Care and Health: Learn about safe sleep, breastfeeding, and support for how you feel after birth.
  • Doctor Appointments: Find doctors, book visits, and schedule rides.
  • Free Baby Supplies: Get free baby growth check-ups and help finding free diapers and formula. 
  • Community Help: Connect to local food banks, housing help, and parenting classes.
