Precious Cargo links mothers-to-be with important pregnancy-related health care information. The choices you make during your pregnancy can help give your baby a healthier start in life. Providing you with important information during the course of your pregnancy, in addition to your doctor’s care, gives you the tools needed to make healthy choices.

With Precious Cargo, you are urged to visit your doctor as soon as you think you are pregnant. If you are pregnant, promptly enroll in the program. To be eligible for the program, you must register by your 17th week of pregnancy. Once you are enrolled, a nurse will call you to set up an interview, conducted by phone in the privacy of your home. While this program is an important feature of your health care coverage, it does not take the place of the care given by your doctor. The program helps identify certain health conditions early in the pregnancy.

When you enroll in Precious Cargo, you receive:

• Two confidential pregnancy health assessments
• Helpful prenatal information
• Access to BabyLine, a toll-free, 24-hour information line
• A $50 credit towards your deductible or a check for $50 if your deductible has been met

If you would like to enroll in the program or need more information, call 1-800-395-BABY.
