[
The Baby FootSteps program supports expectant mothers and promotes a
healthy pregnancy throughout each trimester. We ask that you inform pregnant
AmeriHealth members about the Baby FootSteps program at their first prenatal
visit and encourage them to self-enroll by calling our toll-free number,
1-800-598-BABY. Upon calling, a Health Coach will explain the program to
the member and ask her a series of questions to complete the enrollment
process.
Once enrolled in the program, members will receive a welcome letter that
includes information on how to access educational materials on our secure member website and the
1-800-598-BABY phone number for questions and support during
pregnancy. In addition, high-risk members eligible for condition management
will be given the name and contact information for a Health Coach.
Resources available
Upon request, a flyer is available to place in the member's chart and
distribute at the first prenatal visit to encourage her to enroll in Baby
FootSteps. To order flyers, please submit an online request form for AmeriHealth New Jersey and
AmeriHealth
Pennsylvania. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at
1-888-YOUR-AH1 for AmeriHealth New Jersey or at
1-800-275-2583 for AmeriHealth Pennsylvania.
Postpartum
office visits
As a reminder, postpartum visits should be scheduled 21 to 56 days after
delivery. Adhering to this time frame provides the best opportunity to assess
the physical healing for new mothers and to prescribe contraception, if
necessary. These visits should be scheduled before members are discharged from
the hospital.
