New and Expectant Parent Support

Microsoft’s program with Maven helps you navigate every step of your parenting journey, from planning for a baby all the way through your child’s 18th birthday.  

Our program offers comprehensive support for you and your spouse/partner, including preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, adoption, surrogacy, and returning to work after parental leave. With Maven, you can:

  • Talk with a dedicated care advocate who will answer your questions about benefits, recommend the best practitioners on Maven for your needs, and refer you to in-person, in-network doctors. Your care advocate will stay with you throughout the program and coordinate support for you across the Maven platform.
  • Get support via video, chat message, and phone from providers and coaches across more than 35 specialties, including midwives, doulas, mental health providers, nutritionists, reproductive endocrinologists, egg donor consultants, lactation consultants, infant sleep coaches, adoption and surrogacy specialists, and many others.
  • Receive clinically informed content tailored to your journey, take classes with Maven experts, and connect with other working parents through supportive community forums.
  • Receive parenting support through your child's 18th birthday.

Important Note: Maven provides access to providers 24/7 so you can meet when it’s most convenient for you. However, Maven is not an emergency service provider. If you need care immediately, contact the nurse line for your health plan or go to the Emergency Room.

Maven is available to all employees and their partners who are enrolled in a Microsoft health plan. Interns and visiting researchers enrolled in a Microsoft health plan are also eligible for this benefit.

View the Enrollment and Eligibility page for a full listing of healthcare plan requirements.

Maven is here to provide you with the support and resources you need to make this exciting time as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

  • See availability and schedule a call with a specialist right in the app. 
  • Work with a nutritionist to help with your diet. 
  • Have a fertility awareness educator help track your cycle.
