Oula Health

Oula is a hybrid maternity clinic that offers pregnancy care from prenatal and delivery services to postnatal support. Through Oula’s app and online platform, the clinic enables virtual consultations and postnatal check-ins with care team members, virtual classes, appointment scheduling, and workshops. Its in-person services include prenatal clinical assessments, blood work, ultrasounds, referrals for more specialized testing, and birthing.

Key customers and partnerships

As of August 2024, the company’s services are in-network with most health plans, including UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, aetna, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Additionally, as of August 2024, the company noted that it had handled over 1,500 births, achieving a 25% improvement in the Cesarean section rate, reduced the preterm birth rate by 51%, and reduced the low birth weight rate by 63% for Black-identifying parents. 

In October 2023, Oula Health expanded its partnership it formed with Mount Sinai originally in May 2021 for collaborating on maternity care. Through the expanded partnership, a deeper clinical and financial integration was formed, allowing even more patients to deliver their babies at Mount Sinai’s facilities by Oula midwives, along with support from Mount Sinai experts in obstetrics, maternal-fetal medicine (MFM), and teams of nurses and specialists in high-risk surgical care if needed.
