Frequently asked questions

How much does Maven cost, and how does it work with my health insurance?

What types of providers can I connect with through Maven?

You can use Maven to book unlimited coaching and educational virtual appointments with providers across more than 30 specialties, including OB-GYNs, mental health specialists, lactation consultants, doulas, and more.

What if I already have an in-person OB-GYN or pediatrician?

You should continue to see your in-person provider. Maven provides additional support to your care as our providers include a range of specialists you might not have access to - from midwives and doulas to diabetes coaches and career coaches - and they’re also available via message or video call 24/7. Your Care Advocate can also help you find in-person, in-network providers if needed.

How can Maven support non-birthing parents throughout the parenthood journey?

Eligible partners can sign up for their own account and benefit from Maven’s provider appointments, articles, videos, and virtual classes. Those enrolled in the Maven partner track will also receive content that’s specific to the partner experience.

Outre l'anglais, est-ce que Maven est disponible dans d'autres langues?

Maven compte dans ses rangs des spécialistes locuteurs de plus de 35 langues distinctes, dont l'espagnol, le mandarin, le japonais, l'italien, le français. Maven propose en outre des services d'interprétation simultanée dans les rares cas où nous ne parvenons pas à mettre un membre en contact avec un spécialiste locuteur de sa langue de préférence. Nos Care Advocates vous permettent de trouver les spécialistes répondant à vos critères linguistiques et à vos besoins et vous dirigent vers du contenu en d'autres langues.

Si vous rencontrez des difficultés dans votre processus d'inscription à maven, consultez nos guides d'inscription en espagnol et en chinois simplifié. Vous avez besoin d'une autre langue? Envoyez un message à support@mavenclinic.com.

How do I and/or my covered dependent sign up?

Signing up for Maven is as easy as downloading the Maven Clinic app to your iOS or Android device and following the prompts to get started. If you’d rather sign up from your desktop, just follow the "Activate your membership" links on this page. Just remember that if you’re a covered dependent of a Columbia University faculty or staff member, you’ll need to use their information to validate your own membership.

How do I sign up for Maven Wallet*?

After activating your free Maven membership, Columbia University faculty and staff who are eligible for Maven Wallet will be able to access it within the Maven platform. Maven Wallet can be used for easy reimbursement of qualifying expenses related to adoption and/or surrogacy. If you have questions during enrollment, email the Maven Care Team at support@mavenclinic.com for 24/7 support.
