FAQ
Straight answers.
Equipment, cost posture, credentialing, transfers, and how the program fits the hospital you actually run.
No. Perinatal Link runs on the equipment your hospital already has. There is no cart to buy, no technology fee, no per-seat license, and no implementation fee.
Yes. You are exactly who we built it for. The program is designed for community and critical-access hospitals delivering fewer than 1,000 babies a year.
One predictable rate with no technology fees and no minimum volume commitment. We scope pricing to each hospital's delivery volume, so we quote individually. Request a quote and we'll build one for your hospital.
We provide live specialist access 24/7/365 and commit to defined response times. The specific commitment is confirmed with your clinical leadership during scoping.
No, it makes them smarter. When transfer is the right call, our specialists help your team stabilize, document, and hand off cleanly. When it isn't, they help you keep the delivery local safely.
Board-certified maternal-fetal medicine specialists from Ouma Health and board-certified neonatologists from Millennium Medical Group. You'll know the practices, and your team will get to know the physicians.
We support your medical staff office through credentialing, including credentialing by proxy where your bylaws allow it.
Not at all, except that the program may help you most. Family physicians who deliver get an MFM and a neonatologist alongside them for the cases that used to mean an automatic transfer.
No. Perinatal Link is a clinician-to-clinician service for your hospital. Your team calls, our specialists join, your patients stay yours.
Two ways. It's one program covering mother and baby, with both specialties available and coordinated when needed. And it's priced for your delivery volume, not built for a 1,000-delivery hospital and passed down.
An OB/GYN with additional fellowship training in high-risk pregnancy. MFMs are the subspecialists other physicians call when a pregnancy gets complicated: preterm labor, preeclampsia, diabetes, multiples, and fetal conditions.
A physician with specialized training in the care of newborns who are premature, critically ill, or medically complex. Neonatologists lead resuscitations, stabilize sick babies, and direct NICU care.
The ACOG and SMFM levels-of-maternal-care framework recognizes MFM consultation by telephone or telemedicine for Level I and II hospitals. We help you document that consultation so your program and your surveys reflect it.
Level IIs sit in the hardest spot: capable enough to keep many babies, resourced like the market forgot you. Neonatologist backup helps you use your full scope safely and defensibly, and MFM support does the same for your delivery volume.
Yes. Ouma runs the nation's largest tele-MFM practice, with services from ultrasound interpretation to maternal behavioral health. MMG staffs and builds nursery and NICU programs, including OB hospitalist coverage and newborn hearing screens. Perinatal Link is the two practices' joint answer for hospitals under 1,000 deliveries; both bring their full depth behind it.
Our physicians carry their own coverage and are licensed in your state; the program is structured so your hospital isn't taking on our liability. Details are spelled out plainly in the agreement.
