Who we serve · Maternal and family care

Get paid for the care
you already give.

And be able to prove what it changed.

Doulas, postpartum programs, lactation, perinatal mental health, home visiting. Stage runs the space, the record, the referrals and the billing — so your visits become claims that pay and reports funders accept.

Where a life begins, someone is already showing up. A room that exists because somebody found it, leased it, furnished it and licensed it — that part was ours.

Why it isn’t working today

Doulas, postpartum programs, lactation counselors, perinatal mental health teams and home visitors hit the same three walls — not because the care is weak, but because the systems underneath it were built for clinics. Here is each one, and what it looks like once Stage runs it.

Illustrative screens with sample data.

Wall 1

The record lives in a tote bag

Visits happen in living rooms, hospital corridors and car seats. Notes end up on paper, in texts, in three people’s heads — and nobody can answer a funder’s question without a week of calling around.

Wall 2

Your workforce doesn’t fit the forms

Doulas, community health workers and lactation counselors sit awkwardly in payer taxonomies built for physicians. Enrollment stalls, and the people doing the work go unpaid for it.

Wall 3

You can feel the outcome, but not evidence it

MCOs, health systems and foundations want screening rates, follow-up rates and referral closure. Your team knows the mother is doing better. The spreadsheet cannot prove it.

  • Screening, follow-up and referral-closure reporting for funders

In practice

Korédé Foundation

Stage runs the space their programs happen in, the technology behind them, the referrals in and out, and the billing that keeps their programs sustainable. Korédé does the care.

From managing team members and credentialing clinicians to the day to day of client care, Stage takes the guesswork out of case management and eliminates the need for paper tracking.
