Our Mission

Our Expertise

With over 30 years of experience, we specialize in supporting high-risk populations, achieving high member reach, and helping health plans meet HEDIS performance measures.

The Problem: Why This Matters

1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression, yet half go undiagnosed without screening. Suicide remains one of the leading causes of maternal death in the U.S., and minority and low-income mothers face the highest risk with the least access to care. Many experience delayed diagnosis due to transportation, childcare, and language barriers, or avoid treatment altogether because of stigma.

Providers often lack the time, resources, and behavioral health specialists needed to consistently screen, refer, and follow up on postpartum cases. Health plans struggle to meet equity and quality mandates with limited provider capacity and difficulty keeping mothers engaged during the critical first year postpartum. These gaps leave too many mothers without timely help, driving avoidable health crises and preventable costs.

The Solution: Closing the Postpartum Gap

PQS bridges the gap between Medicaid coverage and actual care by delivering structured outreach, validated depression screening, and coordinated follow-up, reaching postpartum members within 12 months of delivery.

Through HIPAA-compliant phone and video visits, multilingual engagement, early detection using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and personalized care navigation, we remove barriers, connect mothers to the right support, and improve outcomes for families and health plans.

Outcomes and Value to Health Plans

Our approach delivers measurable impact for health plans and the mothers they serve, reaching over 85% of postpartum members, referring 100% of high EPDS scores, and achieving 90%+ adherence. With the potential to cut maternal health costs by 10–20%, our model saves an estimated $1.86M for every 1,000 postpartum outreach contacts, while improving lives and outcomes at scale.
