Children First™ Program Rewards Community Health Plan Members for Getting the Care They Need!

Are you participating in the new Children First program? Children First is a program that can reward you for getting the care you need. There are rewards for eligible members who get prenatal care or children who are current with their immunizations.

So how can you get the rewards? It's very simple.

Click on your child's age on the game board below and find out.
(The rewards may be different than shown here. Other requirements and restrictions may apply to the Children First program.)

PREGNANCY (Prenatal care) and 0-15 Months

Community Health Plan members who seek the indicated care on or after January 1, 2007 would be eligible if they meet all of the program criteria

Patient must:

1. be a member of Community Health Plan,
2. see their provider for their first prenatal visit within the first trimester (or within 42 days of joining Community Health Plan and
3. still be seeing their provider for prenatal care in the third trimester of their pregnancy

Your primary care provider (PCP) will then submit your form to Community Health Plan. You will then receive your car seat certificate in the mail!

Once your baby is born, remember to schedule regular checkups with your PCP. During these visits, your baby will receive important immunizations (shots) and your PCP will monitor your baby's growth and development. Don't forget to ask your PCP any questions you might have as a new parent - they are interested in helping your baby grow up to be a happy, healthy child.

If you remain current with your baby's immunizations and well-child checkups, you will also receive a Healthwise handbook, thermometer, and infant grooming kit.

Preventing injuries and illness is one of the best ways to maintain the health of your child. During well-child exams, your primary care provider (PCP) will monitor the growth and development of your child, as well as keep his or her immunizations up to date.

Your PCP will then submit your form to Community Health Plan. You will then receive your certificate in the mail for a bike helmet, toddler cupboard locks, a booster seat or backpack!

To help make sure your child is safe when he or she uses the bike helmet, carefully read the instruction manual and follow all directions for the correct and safe use of the bike helmet. The manufacturer's warranty is the only warranty for the bike helmet, and Community Health Plan makes no additional warranties for the product.
