Stork Club Launches Industry-First Condition-Based Care Pathways, Pioneering Personalization of Reproductive Care to Improve Health Outcomes and Reduce Employer Costs

The world-first tailored care plans address over 40 conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Gestational Diabetes, Preeclampsia, and more.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stork Club, a product leader in reproductive health enterprise benefits, has introduced its pioneering Condition-Based Care Pathways. This innovative approach personalizes care by tailoring proactive, evidence-based guidance to each member's reproductive goals, medical conditions, and chronic health needs. Delivered through the Stork Club digital platform, this program is designed to improve clinical outcomes while significantly reducing healthcare costs for both employers sponsoring care and employees.

Stork Club's Condition-Based Care Pathways are designed to address over 40 health conditions that affect reproductive outcomes, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational), Heart Disease, Preeclampsia, Postpartum Depression, Cancer, Obesity, and more. By addressing the complete health profile, including relevant conditions, Stork Club's covered members receive holistic, proactive care guidance tailored to their unique needs.

Proactive, Personalized Care for Optimal Outcomes

Unlike traditional benefits programs that take a one-size-fits-all approach, leaving members to navigate a maze of generic options, Stork Club leads with Condition-Based Care Pathways tailored to address the complete health profile of each member. Members receive unique personalized plans consisting of care tasks such as guidance on diagnostics, symptom management, covered programs, and policies, as well as recommendations for the right top-tier provider visit, either via a video visit or an in-clinic appointment.

Members complete care tasks, such as scheduling diagnostic tests, attending video consultations, and following vetted advice directly through the Stork Club app. Integrated covered services include high-quality fertility care (for either fertility preservation or building a family), maternity care (e.g., in-person birth doulas support through pregnancy and birth), and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for all genders (e.g., menopause or men's health optimization).

Example: Managing Gestational Diabetes During Pregnancy

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition that, if unmanaged, increases the risk of preterm delivery and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions. Infants born to mothers with GDM have a median NICU stay of 11 days, costing employers ~ $100,000 per case. Early management of GDM reduces the risk of preterm birth by 50%, potentially saving $50,000 per case on NICU cost alone while improving the health outcomes of mother and child (JAMA Pediatrics, 2018).

Through their Stork Club's personalized care plan, the member receives regular reminders for glucose monitoring, dietary recommendations, and virtual consultations with endocrinologists and nutritionists to help proactively reduce risk for pre-term births or lower NICU admissions and associated costs for employers while ensuring healthier pregnancies and outcomes for members.
