4. The user must provide their first name, last name, year of birth, and email address. 
5. After successful Authentication, the user is then redirected back to the OB Care application where they search for a clinic (provider organization) and begin the Authorization process. 
6. If the clinic doesn’t exist, the user must contact "OBCare support" for a clinic to be created.
   1. OB Care support requests the name, address, phone number, fax number, and Tax Identification Number (TIN) of the clinic. 
   2. OB Care support creates the clinic with the details provided and:
      1. Activates the clinic.
      2. Activates the user who submitted the request and assigns that user as administrator to that clinic.   
      3. Administrators are also provided with the "Staff" role allowing them to begin submitting ONAF forms.
7. If the clinic does exist, the OB Care application searches for an administrator of the clinic
   1. If the OB Care application finds an administrator, an automated email is sent to the clinic administrator to approve access for the user. 

   2. When the clinic administrator activates the user's account and provides the "Staff" or "Provider" role, an automated email is sent to the user alerting them that access has been granted to the clinic and they can begin submitting ONAF forms. 

      Note: the "Staff" or "Provider" roles allow users to fill out ONAFs and have the same level of access. The "Admin" role allows users to approve access into the user's clinic.
8. If the OB Care application does not find an administrator, the user must contact OB Care support for access to the clinic
   1. OB Care support requests the name, address, phone number, fax number, and Tax Identification Number (TIN) of the clinic.

   3. Administrators are also provided with the "Staff" role allowing them to begin submitting ONAF forms.

The Obstetrical Needs Assessment Form (ONAF) form in Pennsylvania is intended for Medical Assistance (MA) recipients in the ACCESS Plus and Fee for Service delivery systems as well as recipients enrolled in HealthChoices voluntary or mandatory Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). The ONAF serves as initial notification of pregnancy and as an ongoing maternity assessment for recipients. Prompt submission of the ONAF by providers allows enrollment of patients in the appropriate maternity program as early as possible and helps provide additional support for recipients and providers.

OB Care is an online application which allows providers to enter patient information into the pregnancy assessment forms electronically and to submit the form online. This allows the provider to carry forward information to subsequent assessment forms throughout the patient’s pregnancy in addition to lessening the need for cumbersome faxing.

Instead of having to manage and maintain multiple user identities across applications, Optum ID empowers the user to register for a single health identity (their Optum ID) and use it to authenticate oneself to any application that allows 'Sign in with Optum ID'. Applications that enable 'Sign in with Optum ID' are referred to in this document as Relying Party application or Service Provider application.

The option to Sign-In with your Optum ID will be presented by the Service Provider application either as a hyperlink or button. Once you click on either option, the Optum ID login screen will appear where you will be prompted to enter your Optum ID credentials. You can login using a combination of either Username and Password or Email (primary email on file) and Password.

Upon successful authentication you will be routed back to the Service Provider application. Should your authentication fail, the appropriate reason will be displayed.
