Hi everyone!
I was reading some posts the other day, especially the one talking about getting the free car seat from their insurance if they signed up in the first tri for their free expectant mother program. If you are now in 2nd tri, It's still worth it to sign up.
Besides giving you check up phone calls, a hotline to call if you have questions, and information about your pregnancy; Some programs give you a free car seat, a 50.00 250.00 gift card, some give you free books, some give random gifts during each trimester, some also give you free home health aide service after you deliver. It depends on the plan and I think it's well worth the look.
Now, I had an extremely hard time trying to find out what the program was called under my state and insurance. So I have compiled a list. This is only for Blue Cross Blue Shield at the moment.I'm sorry, I'm only one person! =/
If you would like to add your insurances information, program name and what it entails, please feel free to respond.
I am trying to make it so every person has a resource when calling up their insurance company since I had to fight with mine because they had no idea what " new beginnings or special beginnings" was. My insurance offered it through blue cross blue shield / florida blue "Healthy addition".
This is going to be a long post so please do not camp;p/quote it. If there is erroneous information or missing information There is! Please reply with the correct information. Hopefully we can get this stickied.
