Boston MFM

What Boston MFM does

Boston Maternal Fetal Medicine (Boston MFM) is a physician-owned sub-specialty maternal-fetal medicine practice founded in 2010 by Bruce F. Cohen, MD, and Tamara C. Takoudes, MD, both former Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center clinicians with Harvard Medical School faculty appointments. The practice delivers comprehensive prenatal diagnosis and high-risk pregnancy care from conception to birth, serving pregnant women with conditions including diabetes, hypertensive disorders, multiple gestations, fetal anomalies, advanced maternal age, and prior preterm birth. Services span obstetrical care and management, Level II obstetric ultrasound with 4D and 3D imaging performed by RDMS-certified sonographers, first- and second-trimester genetic screening, amniocentesis, chorionic villous sampling, Doppler studies, multifetal pregnancy reduction, and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling. Operations span four Massachusetts sites — Brookline (headquarters), Hyannis at Cape Cod Hospital, Concord, and Falmouth at Falmouth Hospital — with additional hospital-based consultations at South Shore Hospital and St. Elizabeth Medical Center, supported by 24/7 on-call physician coverage.

The practice operates a referral-based go-to-market model: OBGYNs refer high-risk patients to Boston MFM for consultation and co-management, with the practice positioned as a sub-specialty referral center rather than a primary care entry point. Marketing is limited to a content-driven website (pregnancy health news, referring-provider resources) and physician referral relationships, with patient engagement handled through an athenahealth-hosted patient portal. Reimbursement follows standard U.S. insurance billing for sub-specialty maternal-fetal medicine services, and patients are responsible for obtaining referrals and confirming coverage. The practice is clinically affiliated with the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center network and the Steward Healthcare network.

In October 2025, Ouma Health — a national maternal-fetal medicine telemedicine platform — acquired Boston MFM alongside Sunny Day MFM, converting Ouma from a pure telemedicine operator into a hybrid in-person plus virtual MFM organization. The acquisition extended the combined entity's in-person footprint across Massachusetts, Florida, and Maine. CEO Bruce Cohen continues in a leadership role within the integrated organization, and Boston MFM now operates as a clinical asset under Ouma Health.
