Special Beginnings
We understand how important it is to take care of yourself and your growing baby. That's why we're pleased to offer the Special Beginnings program, an online prenatal program administered by Alere®.*
Special Beginnings is designed to help you better understand and manage your pregnancy. You'll have access to a 24-hour, toll-free line staffed by maternity nurses, as well as an online health information library.
To get started, you must complete an initial assessment. Click the Web site link below. Enter the user ID and the password printed in the right hand corner of the welcome letter you received in the mail. Enter the ID and password exactly as they appear. For added security, the first time that you log onto the site, you'll be prompted to change your password.
Based on the information that you provide, you'll receive educational materials specific to your needs. With your written consent, information from your health assessments will also be shared with your contracting provider.
If there are any significant factors that could affect your pregnancy, a maternity nurse will offer to coordinate your care.
We look forward to your participation in Special Beginnings.
*The Special Beginnings program is administered by Alere® through a contractual arrangement between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico and Alere Women's and Children's Health, LLC. The relationship between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico and Alere is solely that of independent contractors.
