Maven Clinic

Why We Like It

Maven Clinic represents the future of postpartum care — an integrated digital platform where a new parent can see a therapist, consult a lactation specialist, and message an OB/GYN all in the same app. For parents with employer or insurance access, it is the most clinically comprehensive digital postpartum option available.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• On-demand video appointments with OB/GYNs, therapists, lactation consultants, and postpartum doulas in one platform
• Proactive care navigation team reaches out to members at clinical risk for postpartum depression
• Supports the full continuum from pregnancy through return-to-work, not just the immediate postpartum window

Cons

• Access primarily through employer or insurance benefits, limiting availability for those without covered plans
• Provider continuity can be inconsistent; some users see a different clinician at each appointment

Score Breakdown

Postpartum support services were evaluated on clinical quality and perinatal specialization, speed and ease of access, comprehensiveness across emotional and practical needs, community strength, and value including free and insurance-covered options.
