You may change your network PCP for any reason, at any time. Also, if your PCP leaves the plan’s provider network, you may have to find a new PCP. For more information about what happens when your provider leaves the network, refer to Section 3.4 (What happens when a PCP, specialist or another network provider leaves our plan’s network) of our Member Handbook (PDF).
Preventative care visits are covered by NH Healthy Families. This means visiting the doctor for a regular check-up, rather than waiting until you are sick.

Tips for Pregnancy
If you are pregnant or want to become pregnant, keep these things in mind:
- Go before you show! Go to the doctor as soon as you think you are pregnant. It is important for you and your baby to see a doctor as early as possible. It will keep both of you healthy. It will also help your baby get off to a good start. It is even better to see a doctor before you are pregnant. This is so you can get your body ready for pregnancy.
- Maintain healthy lifestyle habits. This includes exercising, eating balanced and healthy meals, and resting for 8-10 hours every night.
- Do not use tobacco, alcohol or drugs now or while you’re pregnant.
Breastfeeding
Doctors and health organizations agree that breastfeeding is best. You may already know that breast milk is packed with the perfect mix of nutrients your baby needs. Did you know that it is also more than just food? Breast milk has special ingredients, like antibodies, that only you can provide. Breast pumps are helpful if you are breastfeeding and have to be away from your baby. One breast pump is covered per pregnancy. You are able to order your breast pump 30 days beefore your expected delivery date. Call us for assitance in obtaining your breast pump.
