Healthy Babies

Give Your Little One a Healthy Start

It's a fact – good prenatal care and education can help prevent premature birth and low-birth-weight babies. The CIGNA HealthCare Healthy Babies^® program gives you the information and support you need to make the best choices for yourself and your baby.

When you enroll in the Healthy Babies Program you'll get:

• Valuable educational materials you can use as a resource throughout your pregnancy, including:
  
  • Guidelines for a healthy pregnancy and baby.
  • Information on health issues that impact pregnant women and their babies, including stress, depression & gum disease (PDF, 35K).
  • A guide to pregnancy-related topics available through the CIGNA HealthCare 24-Hour Health Information Line^SM.
  • A list of informative online and telephone resources.
  • Information on prenatal care from the March of Dimes^® — a recognized source of information on pregnancy and babies.
• Round-the-clock access to a toll-free information line staffed by experienced registered nurses.

If you or your baby has special health care needs, you may also be eligible for support from a nurse case manager.

To enroll, just call the toll-free number on your CIGNA HealthCare ID card any time during your pregnancy. The Healthy Babies program is offered in addition to the services covered as part of a CIGNA HealthCare medical benefit plan.
