Our award-winning Baby FootSteps maternity program is designed to complement the care that our pregnant members receive from their maternity care provider. All mothers-to-be who are registered in the program receive important information to help them start and maintain a healthy pregnancy lifestyle.

Registering our maternity members into Baby FootSteps is imperative for early outreach, particularly for high-risk pregnancies. Our goal is to reach out to members identified as having risk factors within their first trimester of pregnancy. Therefore, all AmeriHealth maternity members should complete the Initial Maternity Patient Questionnaire form at their first prenatal visit. Please mail the registration questionnaires to us immediately following this visit to ensure timely registration into this program. Member registration into the program and prenotification for delivery will be completed at the same time.

The program offers many benefits to members, including case management by our obstetric nurses for members with such diagnoses as:

• gestational diabetes mellitus
• pregnancy-induced hypertension
• preterm labor
• hyperemesis gravidarum

Pregnant members enrolled in Baby FootSteps also receive educational materials and information about incentives.

Initial Maternity Patient Questionnaire forms and postage-paid return envelopes can be ordered by submitting an online request through the Provider Supply Line or by calling the Provider Supply Line at 1-800-858-4728.

Note: The Baby FootSteps maternity program is offered only to AmeriHealth members. Therefore, please remind your staff to verify member eligibility prior to giving a patient the questionnaire to complete.
