Delivering healthier babies, happier moms and lowered
cost of care.

SynCare’s Promise Program is devised to improve clinical outcomes for expectant mothers and their newborns. Goals of the multi-faceted Prenatal care program are::

   Increase early access to prenatal care
   Improve compliance with routine prenatal care and proper nutrition
   Improve compliance with prescribed medications including prenatal vitamins
   Reduce related medical expenses associated with complications in pregnancy
     increase birth weights and gestational age at delivery
   Decrease NICU admissions and length of stay


SynCare’s Case for Perinatal Case Management

According to the National WIC Association (NWA) premature births in the U.S. cost over
$26 billion a year.

   On average, the first year medical expenses for a low birth-weight baby are 45 times
     more than those for a baby without complications.
   For very low birth-weight babies, a shift of just one pound at birth can save about $28,000
     in first year medical costs.
   For every low birth-weight incident prevented, Medicaid costs are reduced by
    $12,000 to $15,000.


Our Program for Comprehensive Care

The Promise Program’s goal is to lower the risks and symptoms associated with high-risk pregnancy by providing comprehensive case management and support. Through risk assessments and our direct member interactions we address medical, nutritional, environmental, socioeconomic and behavioral factors, with the following concentrations:

   Increased proper nutrition
   Proper weight gain and management
   Smoking cessation
   Substance abuse cessation
   Compliance with prenatal appointments
   Identification of risk factors associated with preterm labor and delivery
   Development of care plans to reduce risk of preterm labor and delivery

SynCare’s Promise Program has achieved:

   Improved prenatal HEDIS rates
   Improved postpartum HEDIS rates
   Reduced NICU admissions
   Reduced cost

The SynCare Promise Program is developed in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations established the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists.
