Healthy Start Prenatal and Postpartum Program
 What is the Healthy Start Program?
The Healthy Start Program is a comprehensive prenatal and postpartum program designed to focus on early identification of pregnant women, assist with immediate access to care issues, and provide education to our pregnant members to ensure they understand and are able to perform self-care aspects of pregnancy.
How to enroll
To enroll your patient into the Healthy Start Program, please contact Lisa Zavala at 323-889-6638 extension 6471 or fax a PREGNANCY NOTIFICATION FORM to 323-889-6578. The Healthy Start Staff will be mailing educational material to your patient related to different stages of pregnancy, information regarding the WIC Program as well as a Newborn Referral Form for her to complete and forward to her eligibility worker.
As a member incentive for enrolling into the Healthy Start Program, Care1st will give your patient a $50 gift card if she is examined within her 1st trimester or within 42 days of enrollment with the health plan and keeps all of her prenatal visits. After she delivers, you need to complete and fax the DELIVERY FORM to Care1st for processing of the gift card. This form includes documentation of a basic physical OB exam with fundus height OR OB panel OR documentation of LMP/EDC AND IF APPLICABLE, a CPSP Assessment in addition to the total number of prenatal visits.
