ConditionCare

Caring for yourself when you have an ongoing health condition can be challenging. But managing your condition can lead to feeling better, visiting the doctor less frequently and spending less money out of your pocket.

To help people who are managing ongoing conditions live a healthier life, Anthem Blue Cross offers ConditionCare, which gives all Anthem members 24/7 access to a team of health professionals, including nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers and others.

The ConditionCare team can answer your questions and provide advice about:

  • Medications
  • Eating healthier
  • How to get more exercise
  • How to quit smoking
  • Pain management
  • What your symptoms could mean

To sign up, call the number on the back of your Anthem ID card, and let them know you’re interested in the ConditionCare program. A nurse will ask a few questions to help identify your needs.

Future Moms

Healthy and informed moms increase their chances of having healthier babies. Future Moms is a voluntary program that’s designed for pregnant Anthem members who want additional advice for following their doctor’s care plan.

A registered nurse — experienced in prenatal and postnatal care — will be your health coach throughout your pregnancy and after delivery. Your health coach will call to check on you, give you information specific to your stage of pregnancy and answer questions about any health concerns you have. You’ll also have 24/7 access to a registered nurse, so whenever you have a question, someone is available to help. And additional support is available from pharmacists, nutritionists and mental health professionals.

Plus, your health coach will continue to work with you after childbirth to help you get a strong start and manage any issues that arise.

Sign up for Future Moms, and you’ll get:

  • 24/7 access to talk with a nurse coach about your pregnancy, newborn care and much more. Each future mom (and dad) has round-the-clock access to a nurse coach during pregnancy.
  • A maternity care diary packed with tips for a healthy pregnancy. There’s also space to track your doctor’s appointments and changes in your body and feelings during your pregnancy.
  • A book that shows changes you can expect for yourself and your baby during the next nine months.
  • Access to dietitians, pharmacists and social workers, as needed.

To sign up, call the number on the back of your Anthem ID card, and ask to speak to a Future Moms representative. You can sign up as soon as you find out you’re pregnant.
