Introduction As a provider-sponsored healthcare plan, AultCare’s close relationships with network providers encompass several advantages for its members. A member’s care is streamlined and coordinated between the health plan and provider, and ultimately helps control healthcare expenses.

High-Risk Pregnancy To promote the health of women with a high-risk pregnancy, AultCare offers a successful High-Risk Pregnancy program. The program promotes a robust identification practice, a concentrated engagement process, and measurable outcomes. Process and Intervention AultCare’s High-Risk Pregnancy Program consists of four components: early identification, member assessment, risk stratification through the removal of barriers and identification of intended outcomes, and high-risk maternity solutions. Identification AultCare’s objective is to identify high-risk pregnancies as early as possible. One way to achieve this is by reviewing claims data. Other factors contributing to this identification process include:  Individual predictive modeling  Increased communication with Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) practices  Implementation of an assessment for those high-risk pregnancies Member Assessment The AultCare Case Management and Disease Management teams work alongside the member to complete an assessment of the mother’s current health and needs, and the future needs of the baby.  Age  Medical risk  Mental health  Substance abuse  Past birth history  History of Spontaneous Abortion (SAB)/Therapeutic Abortion (TAB)

High-Risk Pregnancy Removal of Barriers and Identify Intended Outcomes Members are placed in a specific risk stratification class based on their level of risk and specific healthcare professional needs. 1) Low Risk a. Members are advised to complete routine prenatal care. 2) Mild Risk a. A chronic disease state has been identified (i.e., high blood pressure, high blood sugar). b. Members will require more hands-on care and follow-up from AultCare’s clinical team. 3) High Risk a. AultCare’s clinical team coordinates appointments to pediatric specialists and specific testing. b. Care coordination encompasses Durable Medical Equipment (DME), medications, testing, usage of network providers, and benefit utilization. c.
