CHOC Health Alliance members should notify the plan of their pregnancies right away so the health plan may enroll you in Schaller Anderson's Pathway to Prenatal Care^TM program. Simply send an e-mail message or call the Customer Service Department. Click on the Contact Us page on this Web site to find out how.

Schllaller Anderson's Pathway to Prenatal Care is a special program to help you stay healthy throughout your pregnancy and make sure you get the health care services you need.

For members thinking about getting pregnant, CHOC Health Alliance offers pre-conception counseling to help give their babies the best possible start in life. If a member already is pregnant, she can expect:

• Education on nutrition, stages of pregnancy, fitness, childbirth preparation, sibling preparation and what mom can expect once the baby is born
  
• Regular medical care during and after pregnancy
  
• Information, if needed, on supplemental nutrition programs such as WIC, dental care, child health services and family planning
  
• The opportunity for pregnant women – newly enrolled with CHOC Health Alliance – to remain with the doctor they were seeing before they enrolled, even if that doctor is not part of CHOC Health Alliance’s network of providers. They can continue to see that doctor until their babies are born.

CHOC Health Alliance cares about the well being of every new life. We want parents to be as prepared as possible to care for their new baby.
