we have reviewed here in a book format

so you can easily reference it when

needed . If you are not signed up for

02:50.212 --> 02:52.101
Genesis patient portal , please ,

02:52.101 --> 02:54.323
please , please make sure that you have

02:54.323 --> 02:53.860
access to this . This is really the

02:53.860 --> 02:55.916
best way to reach out to the primary

02:55.916 --> 02:57.971
care team um when you send a note to

02:57.971 --> 03:00.500
your primary care doc or the PCMH team

03:00.500 --> 03:02.556
in general , it goes directly to our

03:02.556 --> 03:04.778
nursing team who is constantly checking

03:04.778 --> 03:06.778
for messages , and they are able to

03:06.778 --> 03:09.000
then reach back out to you and and work

03:09.000 --> 03:11.167
with you on whatever your concern is .

03:11.167 --> 03:13.222
We always encourage you to um to use

03:13.222 --> 03:15.444
that patient portal to the best of your

03:15.444 --> 03:17.556
ability . You're also welcome to call

03:17.556 --> 03:17.440
the call center . At any point , um ,

03:17.539 --> 03:19.830
but the , the patient portal is

03:19.830 --> 03:21.941
sometimes a more direct way where you

03:21.941 --> 03:23.941
don't have to wait on the phone for

03:23.941 --> 03:25.774
breast pumps . This is a covered

03:25.774 --> 03:27.886
service of a value up to €500 while

03:27.886 --> 03:29.886
you're overseas . It does require a

03:29.886 --> 03:31.774
prescription , um , and it can be

03:31.774 --> 03:34.339
started at the 32 week mark . So you

03:34.339 --> 03:36.561
get to choose which pump you would like

03:36.561 --> 03:38.783
to purchase and you get to choose which

03:38.783 --> 03:40.895
company you work with . So there's no

03:40.895 --> 03:43.117
one company that we recommend more than

03:43.117 --> 03:45.339
another . There are some companies that

03:45.339 --> 03:45.190
work . Online and there are some

03:45.190 --> 03:47.357
companies that are here available both

03:47.357 --> 03:49.619
on base and off in the community where

03:49.619 --> 03:51.508
you can discuss different options

03:51.508 --> 03:53.397
available to you if you choose to

03:53.397 --> 03:55.508
purchase out of pocket then you bring

03:55.508 --> 03:57.619
the receipt to our billing department

03:57.619 --> 03:59.508
again within the patient customer

03:59.508 --> 04:01.619
support center um for assistance with

04:01.619 --> 04:03.675
that reimbursement procedure you can

04:03.675 --> 04:05.770
request reimbursement up to 365 days

04:05.770 --> 04:07.826
after the purchase , but please know

04:07.826 --> 04:10.048
that especially being overseas that can

04:10.048 --> 04:11.881
take a little bit of time , so I

04:11.881 --> 04:14.048
recommend that you don't delay . Every

04:14.048 --> 04:15.826
birth event triggers a new pump

04:15.826 --> 04:17.992
eligibility . So even if you have been

04:17.992 --> 04:20.214
pregnant before and you have a previous

04:20.214 --> 04:22.437
breast pump , if you wish to have a new

04:22.437 --> 04:22.429
one , you are absolutely welcome to do

04:22.429 --> 04:24.910
that . Included in that prescription is

04:24.910 --> 04:26.854
the breast pump kit as well as any

04:26.854 --> 04:29.160
additional supplies . So typically that

04:29.160 --> 04:31.320
includes tubing , tubing adapters ,

04:31.410 --> 04:33.839
locking rings , bottles , bottle caps ,

04:33.959 --> 04:36.279
storage bags , any valves that are

04:36.279 --> 04:38.279
needed , and then nipple shields if

04:38.279 --> 04:40.450
required um by and confirmed by a

04:40.450 --> 04:42.617
physician . So when you are purchasing

04:42.617 --> 04:44.783
your pump , typically there's a number

04:44.783 --> 04:47.609
of parts that are long term versus ones

04:47.609 --> 04:49.720
that need to be replaced every 2 to 3

04:49.720 --> 04:51.942
months , um , and so you can set up for

04:51.942 --> 04:54.053
either recurring pickups or recurring

04:54.053 --> 04:56.053
deliveries to make sure that you're

04:56.053 --> 04:58.220
staying up to date with your pump , so

04:58.220 --> 04:57.839
you're getting the best pumping

04:57.839 --> 05:00.730
experience for those who are 32 weeks

05:00.730 --> 05:02.841
or further along in their pregnancy ,

05:02.841 --> 05:04.897
you can stop by for that breast pump

05:04.897 --> 05:06.841
prescription at any point when the

05:06.841 --> 05:08.952
primary care clinic is open . We will

05:08.952 --> 05:08.910
also encourage you to schedule your

05:08.910 --> 05:11.260
Tdap appointment . In regards to the

05:11.260 --> 05:13.371
newborn visit , just touching back on

05:13.371 --> 05:15.371
that , typically we want to see you

05:15.371 --> 05:17.538
within 1 to 3 days of your discharge ,

05:17.570 --> 05:19.459
um , to check on baby , check the

05:19.459 --> 05:21.459
weight , check their bilirubin , we

05:21.459 --> 05:23.459
highly recommend that you bring the

05:23.459 --> 05:25.681
discharge paperwork so we can make sure

05:25.681 --> 05:25.329
that all of those typical newborn

05:25.329 --> 05:28.190
things have been done . If there's any

05:28.190 --> 05:30.109
need for a belly band or support

05:30.109 --> 05:32.053
stockings or anything additional ,

05:32.053 --> 05:34.220
please reach out to the nursing team ,

05:34.220 --> 05:36.331
and we're happy to discuss and , um ,

05:36.331 --> 05:38.387
and help out wherever we can . Thank

you so much for participating in our OB

05:40.609 --> 05:40.100
class . We hope you have a wonderful
