Special Beginnings is a voluntary program 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.
Call toll-free (800) 462-3275 to enroll or ask questions. Download a Flyer on Special Beginnings.
