Anthem $200 Baby Essentials Benefit After Delivery

What this benefit is

After delivery, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Nevada Medicaid offers $200 toward baby essentials. It is restricted to an itemised list, not a prepaid Visa card you can spend anywhere:

  • Bottles and nursing supplies
  • Formula and baby food
  • Diapers, wipes and creams
  • Baby bathtub
  • Car seat, strollers, portable crib

Clothing is not on Anthem's list.

What is not attached to it

Anthem does not attach a 60-day postpartum deadline to this benefit, and it does not require a postpartum checkup to receive it. If you have read either of those elsewhere on this site in the past, that was our error.

The postpartum visit is its own reward

Separately, completing your postpartum visit 7 to 84 days after delivery pays a $50 Healthy Reward. That is a different benefit from the $200 baby essentials benefit, with its own timing.

How to ask for it

Call Anthem member services after delivery and ask what documentation they need, and ask about Healthy Rewards enrollment for the postpartum visit reward.

Check this with your plan directly

You do not have to take our word for it. Call your health plan's member services and ask them to confirm the benefit, the amount, and whether you qualify:
