Maven lives in an app. Phia starts with a text.

Maven is a virtual clinic that employers and health plans offer for fertility, maternity, parenting and menopause. Phia is a perinatal medical group members simply text, from pregnancy through postpartum.

Key takeaway

Both help members get support beyond regular appointments. Maven covers more life stages through its app. Phia focuses on pregnancy and postpartum, starts with a text, brings nurses and specialists into that same thread, and follows up to make sure care happened.

Two ways to reach care.
