FEP has resources for prenatal care and well child-visits

Prenatal care and well-child visits help your patients and their children start off on a healthy path. Pregnant women are encouraged to see their doctor regularly, especially during their first trimester, for support and information on how their bodies will change and how to manage symptoms.

Parents are encouraged to bring their children in for regular well-child visits, especially during the first 15 months of life. The American Academy of Pediatrics and Bright Futures program** recommend nine well-care visits by the time a child turns 15 months.

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program^® provides benefit coverage and educational resources to support pregnant women and children. There are no out-of-pocket costs for prenatal care and well-child visits when FEP members see a  Preferred provider.

FEP members can visit www.fepblue.org/maternity for helpful information on prenatal care. The Pregnancy Quick Reference Guide provides information on benefits and the importance of maternity care. And the FEP Well-Child Quick Reference Guide includes the American Academy of Pediatrics’ schedule of well-child visits to help parents stay on track.

For more information on benefits and resources, FEP members and health care providers can call Customer Service at 1-800-482-3600 or go online to www.fepblue.org.
