Managing your health

Health resources and programs

Our health resources and programs help our members stay healthy, get better and improve their quality of life. We want members to have the clear information they need to make smart health care choices.

Guidelines to good health

You can help prevent illness or find conditions early by following our Guidelines to Good Health. These tests and screenings are based on the latest research and are part of your covered benefits.

Disease Management programs

If you have a chronic condition, our disease management programs can help you. We have programs for asthma, heart disease, depression and diabetes.

We’ll send you newsletters and other tools to help you manage your health.

Pregnancy program

BlueCaid has a pregnancy program for soon-to-be parents. This program helps parents learn about the new baby, taking care of moms-to-be, eating right, and becoming a new mom or dad.

We send information about the program to your doctor. It’s important that moms-to-be make and keep appointments with their doctors and ask questions about their care.

Our health educators can help with additional prenatal education programs and resources. Call our Health Education message line at 800-637-2972 (TTY users: 800-649-3777).

Maternal infant health program

If you are pregnant, you may be able to get care through the Maternal Infant Health Program. These services may be provided by a social worker, a nurse, a nutritionist or other health care provider. Services may include rides to the doctor and classes about childbirth and parenting. The program helps you access social workers and other resources. Customer Service can help you find a provider. You do not need a referral.

Childhood developmental screening

Children need regular well-child visits so their doctor can make sure they are healthy, growing and learning. Click on the link below to read information from the Michigan Department of Community Health about developmental screening.

BlueCaid’s Good Health magazine

Good Health is our member magazine. It provides information about your benefits, tips for staying healthy and the latest news.

Working with your primary care physician

Our programs are based on a partnership with our members, doctors and other providers. We encourage you to work with your primary care physician and visit him or her at least once a year. If you haven't seen your doctor in the past year, please make an appointment.
