CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield offers free case management support to members during pregnancy.

Great Beginnings was designed to supplement the prenatal care and education you receive from your doctor during pregnancy. Our case managers strive to help you stay healthy during pregnancy so that your baby will be born healthy and full-term.

Assessment and Screening
When you enroll in Great Beginnings, one of our case managers will contact you to review your medical history and to identify any other conditions that may affect your pregnancy.

Services
A case manager will contact you during each trimester of your pregnancy to see how you are feeling and to answer any of your questions. You will receive information related to your condition and your baby's development. Your case manager will tell you about community resources and support groups available to you during your pregnancy and immediately after your baby is born. He or she will also help you find a pediatrician close to your home to care for your baby.

If you experience complications during your pregnancy, your case manager will work closely with your doctor to coordinate necessary services. Your case manager will contact you often to provide the additional support and information you may need during this time.

The Great Beginnings program provides you with a direct link to your insurance company.

Your case manager is available to answer your questions Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
