As a HealthSelect participant, you have access to disease management and wellness programs through Blue Care® Connection.
Special Beginnings® is a voluntary program provided through Blue Care Connection for covered participants who are expecting a baby.
This program helps expectant mothers and their babies get off to a healthy start by providing prenatal and postnatal health education, pregnancy risk assessment, educational materials, and follow-up monitoring from pregnancy to six weeks after delivery.
The Special Beginnings Program provides prenatal risk assessment education and coordinates with you and your physician to provide services to help reduce the chance of low birth-weight infants and/or premature delivery. The program is available at no additional cost.
If you are a current HealthSelect participant, call (800) 462-3275 to enroll or ask questions.
Once enrolled in the program, you will receive:
- A pregnancy risk assessment to determine the risk level of the pregnancy and follow-up monitoring calls, if needed.
- A welcome packet.
- Pregnancy-related, post-pregnancy, and well-child educational materials on a variety of topics.
- Personal telephone contact with an experienced obstetrical nurse during pregnancy through six weeks after delivery.
- Immunization schedules that remind parents to make doctor’s appointments for their babies.
If you are a future HealthSelect participant, you will have access to Special Beginnings and other programs provided through Blue Care Connection once your coverage goes into effect.
