Summary
Health Net is partnering with UCSF to support the SACRED Birth Study, which aims to reduce maternal/infant mortality disparity among Black mothers. Providers can refer eligible patients (Black/African American women who gave birth in 2020 at California hospitals) to participate in a survey for a $100 gift card.
Action Required
Immediately: Front desk and clinical staff should identify eligible patients (Black/African American women ages 18+ who gave birth in 2020 at California hospitals) and provide them with UCSF study information and contact details ((510) 545-2989). No billing system changes required - this is a patient referral opportunity only.
