Support at every step Once enrolled, Ashley would be paired with a care manager, a dedicated expert who would guide her through her pregnancy, connect her with vital resources like infant care education and ensure she never had to navigate the journey alone. One of the first things her care manager would set up is transportation assistance, making sure she never missed a prenatal checkup. Ashley would earn financial incentives for attending these visits, which she could use to stock up on baby essentials like bottles and wipes. She would also join the Diaper Club, a benefit included in her plan, and receive funds to help cover the cost of diapers for her youngest child. These benefits, while small on their own, would add up to real relief for a busy mom managing a growing family. A plan that grows with families Even after her baby’s arrival, Ashley’s SoonerSelect plan would continue to support her in meaningful ways. She would receive monthly deliveries of over-the-counter health products like cough medicine and bandages, right to her door. Her older child would receive funding for after-school programs, giving them access to safe, enriching activities each week.
