Physicians Specialty Code in Medical Healthcare healthcare insurance
Sunday, 30 September 2012
Explain Maternal care - Medical Healthcare Insurance
Maternal care is the utmost care required when one individual or a person in family is pregnant and need maternal care . Most policies in Healthcare have limited coverage about maternity . But there are policies in Medical Healthcare Insurance who cover Maternity and this way covers Maternal care .
But the definition of maternal care is not limited . Maternal care includes lots of variable sections which are described below . So before taking any Healthcare Insurance plan one most know different aspects of Maternity care and same way Newborn Health also .
Maternal and newborn health practitioners
A maternal and newborn health practitioner is a health worker who deals with the care of women and their children before, during and after pregnancy and childbirth. These include obstetricians, obstetrical nurses, midwives (including nurse midwives), nurse practitioners, and others. One of the main differences across these professions is the training and authority to provide surgical services and other life-saving interventions. In some developing countries, traditional birth attendants, or traditional midwives, are the primary source of pregnancy and childbirth care for many women and families, although they are not certified or licensed.
Obstetrics
Obstetrics (from the Latin obstare, "to stand by") is the medical specialty dealing with the care of all women's reproductive tracts and their children during pregnancy (prenatal period), childbirth and the postnatal period. Many obstetricians are also gynecologists, meaning they perform in both specialties. In the United States, these physicians are commonly referred to as OB/GYNs.
Prenatal care
Prenatal care (also known as antenatal care) refers to the regular medical and nursing care recommended for women during pregnancy. Prenatal care is a type of preventative care with the goal of providing regular check-ups that allow doctors or midwives to treat and prevent health problems throughout the pregnancy while promoting healthy lifestyles that benefit both mother and child.During check-ups, women will receive medical information over maternal physiological changes in pregnancy, biological changes, and prenatal nutrition including prenatal vitamins. Recommendations on management and healthy lifestyle changes are also made during regular check-ups. The availability of routine prenatal care has played a part in reducing maternal death rates and miscarriages as well as birth defects, low birth weight, and other preventable health problems.
Prenatal care generally consists of:
monthly visits during the first two trimesters (from week 1–28)
fortnightly from 28 to week 36 of pregnancy
weekly after week 36 (delivery at week 38–40)
Assessment of parental needs and family dynamic
Postnatal care
Postnatal (Latin for after birth, from post, meaning after, and natalis, meaning of birth) is the period beginning immediately after the birth of a child and extending for about six weeks. Another term would be postpartum period, as it refers to the mother (whereas postnatal refers to the infant).
It is the time after birth, a time in which the mother's body, including hormone levels and uterus size, returns to a non-pregnant state. Lochia is post-partum vaginal discharge, containing blood, mucus, and placental tissue.
