Prenatal Care

To help keep you and your baby healthy, your Huber medical coverage through Aetna offers free in-network prenatal care. Your routine doctor appointments and related services, such as ultrasounds, are covered at 100%.

In addition, your Huber dental coverage through Cigna provides additional benefits to help you receive important dental care during your pregnancy. Pregnant women can experience changes to their oral health, which can lead to an increased risk in gingivitis and other conditions. You're eligible for one additional free teeth cleaning during your pregnancy, for a total of three for the year. Visit the Cigna website to find and complete the form for eligibility and reimbursement.

 

Parental Leave

Welcoming a new child into your family is an exciting moment in your life. It’s important to take time away from work to enjoy this special time. Huber’s parental leave policy allows you up to six weeks of paid leave, if you have completed six months of full-time continuous service. Leave must be used within six months following the birth or adoption of your child. Each paid week is a maximum of 40 hours.

As a birth mother, you also have access to short-term disability benefits.

FMLA

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible* employees the opportunity to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for the birth of a child or to take care of a newly born child or a child placed with you for adoption or foster care. You may be able to use your paid time off, disability benefits, and/or Parental Leave benefits to receive income during your FMLA leave.

*Eligible employees are those who have worked for 12 months and for at least 1,250 hours. Additional leave policies may be offered at the state level. Reach out to HR for a copy of the Federal Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) Policy for more details.

SNOO Rental

Like most parents of newborns, keeping your baby safe and happy — while trying to get enough rest for yourselves — are probably your top priorities. Huber is here to help by paying for the cost of a SNOO rental for up to six months for Huber employees. Expecting grandparents can also qualify for redeeming a SNOO rental for up to six months!

The SNOO Smart Sleeper was created by pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, author of Happiest Baby on the Block, to help baby’s sleep better with gentle rocking and soothing during naps and at night.

Did you know?

The SNOO is the only bassinet that secures your baby safely on their back, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. SNOO is the first—and only—medical device to receive De Novo authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its ability to keep sleeping babies safely on their backs. Happiest Baby also partners with hospitals, universities, and community-based organizations to improve and research infant sleep.

The SNOO helps parents by providing:

Added sleep (for baby and parents)

A constant calming womb-like motion and sound helps keep babies asleep longer.

Less crying

Increased motion and sound when fussing is detected, which calms your baby’s crying quickly, often in under a minute.

Easier sleep training

The SNOO automatically trains your baby to sleep through the night, making it easy to transition to a crib with little need to “cry it out.”

Better safety

Secure swaddling prevents rolling to an unsafe position during sleep.

Read these testimonials to see how SNOO has helped other parents.

Additional SNOO benefits

Along with your free SNOO rental, you also receive some free gifts (a $90 value):

  • Two organic cotton SNOO sacks
  • An organic cotton fitted sheet

And, you can use the free SNOO app to:

  • Control your SNOO remotely.
  • Track your baby’s sleep patterns.
  • Customize settings.
  • Access helpful tips and fun information from Dr. Harvey Karp.

You also have access to free customer support for sleep consultations and sleep tips seven days a week! Call 855-424-6323 between 12am and 6pm Pacific Time or email customercare@happiestbaby.com.
