Physicians Health Plan has entered into a partnership with physicians to promote education and individualized services to pregnant members, new moms and babies. The program is called Healthy Mom Healthy Baby.

The Healthy Mom Healthy Baby program encourages all pregnant members to: Make an appointment to see your physician within the first twelve weeks of your pregnancy; Make sure you have your screening lab work done, especially Hepatitis B screening; See your physician for your post partum appointment within 21-56 days after delivery; Set up your baby's visit upon discharge for immunization visits.

Services that PHP offers include:

• Health Risk Appraisal Forms:
  Used to identify women at risk for difficult pregnancies.
• Prenatal Vitamins:
  A 90 day supply of prenatal vitamins may now be obtained at one time. If you have a co-pay, you will only need to pay a one-month co-pay for the 90 day supply of vitamins. Any deductibles must first be met prior to receiving a 90 day supply for one co-pay.  This benefit is available if you have a prescription rider on your PHP policy. A special authorization must be obtained to receive this benefit.
