FEP provides pregnancy care incentives, promotes healthy lifestyles
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program® offers the Pregnancy Care Incentive Program to pregnant members and the Healthy Families programs for members with children.
The pregnancy care program encourages pregnant mothers to receive timely prenatal care and helps them make good choices to keep themselves and their babies healthy. It offers support and incentives during each stage of pregnancy. Eligible members can earn rewards toward a health account to be used for qualified expenses.
Once a child is born, FEP members can take advantage of the Healthy Families programs. These programs offer tools for developing healthy lifestyle habits from an early age, and address such topics as:
- Vaccination schedules
- Regular well-child visits
- Weight management strategies
For more information, you can direct your patients to fepblue.org. There they can find details on both the Pregnancy Care Incentive Program and the Healthy Families programs under the Wellness Resources & Tools tab. Members can also call Customer Service at 1-800-482-3600. |
