FEP supports prenatal care, well-child visits

Early prenatal care and frequent well-child visits have a significant impact on the start of a healthy life for children. That’s why the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program^® offers benefits and incentives to encourage members to stay healthy.

Prenatal care

• Prenatal care visits are a covered benefit for all FEP Service Benefit Plan members: Standard Option, Basic Option and FEP Blue Focus.
• The Pregnancy Care Incentive Program is available to Standard and Basic Option members. The program encourages timely prenatal care by rewarding members with a Pregnancy Care Box when a signed medical record is received showing their first trimester visit.

The Pregnancy Care Box is also available to Standard and Basic Option members upon request. The box includes books, educational pamphlets, samples, coupons and clothing items for the baby. For more information, visit fepblue.org/maternity.

Breastfeeding support

All FEP Service Benefit Plan members have benefit coverage for breastfeeding education and individual coaching by a certified lactation consultant. These members can receive a free breast pump kit and milk storage bags from Caremark by calling 1-800-262-7890.

Well-child visits

Well-child visits are covered 100% for all FEP Service Benefit Plan members when seen by a Preferred provider.

Keeping track of immunizations and developmental milestones can be a lot for parents.
