It can take several weeks for you to receive a new insurance card. Select a Physician to Care for Your Baby at OPRMC (See enclosed physician list for helpful instructions.) You must select a physician, with privileges at Overland Park Regional, to care for your baby in the hospital, well before your expected delivery date. A list of these doctors is provided in this booklet. This may be a pediatrician or a family practice physician. If you have selected a physician who does not have privileges at OPRMC, then you still need to select one from the list for temporary in-hospital care. Be certain that the physician is covered by your insurance. Additional help for physician selection is on the back of the list.

This physician will check baby while he or she is in the hospital. Often, this doctor also will be baby’s post-hospital doctor. If not, you’ll want to retain another physician for vaccinations, well-baby checks and other needs. Financial Concerns: It is a good idea to check into your insurance coverage, so you are prepared for any out of pocket expenses. We do not want you to be surprised about financial issues, so here is a checklist for you to follow. • First, check to make certain OPRMC is covered by your insurance. • Next, check your insurance coverage. Often, you may be responsible for some portion of the hospital’s bill. This varies widely depending upon your personal coverage. This bill is usually separate from your maternity care provider’s bill. There may also be other physicians involved in your care here at the hospital who will have bills separate from the hospital. Physician groups who may be involved in your care and bill you separately include: anesthesiologist, pathologist, cardiologist, emergency department physician, radiologist. The anesthesiologists and pathologists are the ones who are most frequently involved in maternity care, but others may also provide care. • We occasionally have patients who find their health insurance doesn’t offer maternity coverage. If this is the case, we offer a discounted “Prepayment Plan.” If you need information about this, you may call our financial counselors Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For patients with last name A-L (913) 541-5887 or M-Z (913) 541-5321. Get a car seat: Kansas will not permit your baby to leave the hospital without a car seat. Baby stores and discount department stores carry them. Infant seats have a handle that lets you carry baby to and from the car. It is recommended that you visit your local police or fire department to assist with proper car seat installation. Seats are installed incorrectly about 85% of the time. To search for locations go to www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/childps/cpsfitting, then enter your zip code. Be sure to call ahead to determine availability and times. Select baby names. If you have already chosen a name, you can complete baby’s birth certificate and social security number application quickly and easily in the hospital. Birth certificate information MUST be completed before discharge. Lactation Services Taking a breastfeeding class is a good way to ensure breastfeeding success. For information about breastfeeding and other prenatal community classes, go to www.healthyarrivals.org or call Healthy Arrivals at 913-438-4773. Even though breastfeeding is a natural process, some mothers find themselves facing challenges. Our lactation consultants are registered nurses who work with mothers to prevent and solve four breastfeeding problems. They are certified by the International Board of Certified Lactation Consultants and have extensive educational and clinical expertise. Services offered include breastfeeding classes, inpatient counseling to mothers, routine follow-up calls after discharge and daytime phone assistance for problems. Breastfeeding support is available by calling (913) 541-5208. Breast Pumps and Breastfeeding Supplies We now offer all new breastfeeding mothers information on breastfeeding supplies, types of breastpumps, rental and purchase resources. If you prefer to rent a breast pump, you can do so by calling customer service at Medela (1-800-835-5968) or Engell (1-800-323-8750). They can help you locate the nearest rental office. If you have difficulty, please let us know and we’ll help you. Prepare your home: Plan where your newborn will sleep during the first few days or weeks. Set up the bassinet or crib and diaper changing area (either a changing table or cleared and covered dresser with changing necessities nearby) with a diaper pail for soiled diapers, a hamper for your baby’s laundry and a plastic-lined wastebasket for discarded wipes. Childproof your home by removing all hazardous materials from lower level cabinets and/or attach locks to cabinet doors. Place baby-safe plugs in electrical outlets throughout the house. Buy and test a baby gate that prevents falls down stairs. Pack it up! Getting ready for the hospital In the flurry of activity as you rush to the hospital, you might forget a few necessary items. Most birthing counselors suggest that you pack your hospital bags at least two weeks before baby is due. Some suggest packing two bags—one for labor and delivery and a second for postpartum and your trip home. Either way, you will want a few essentials: For Labor Comfort (be sure to put your name on everything) • • • • • • • • • Postpartum Essentials • Phone numbers of family members and friends you’ll want to call (cell phones may be used) Birth plan (if you prepared one) • Nightgown or pajamas with easy access for nursing Pillows (if you want your own) (if you want your own) Non-skid slippers or warm socks • Bathrobe Warm or cold comfort items • Nursing bras (if needed) (if you desire) • Toiletries Massage tools that relax you Portable Music Device (if you’d like) • Beauty products • Loose-fitting outfit for your trip home Snacks and beverages (for Dad) • Clothes/blanket for your baby to wear home Chargers for cell phones, cameras • Car seat Lip balm five Your Maternity PreAdmission Appointment is on: Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Date:__________________ Time:__________________ Directions to PreAdmission Office: Please use the FREE Valet Service available at the hospital main entrance, which is now the Medical Plaza West Building, or “Mother to Be” parking.
