Family Planning

Abstinence, choosing not to be sexually active, is the best way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Herpes and Venereal Warts. However, if you are sexually active or thinking of becoming sexually active you should see your PCP to obtain family planning services.

Pregnancy Care

Pregnant women need special care. Capstone covers care for you if you become pregnant. Talk to your doctor or call Capstone Health Plan's toll free number 800-336-3874 to find out where to be tested. The best way for you to stay healthy and have a healthy child is to get care as soon as you find out that you are having a baby. Please contact Capstone's Health Services Director as soon as you find out you are pregnant.

You must get a referral from your PCP to get services from an obstetrician, a doctor who specializes in giving pregnancy care. If your PCP has not already referred you, we can help you find an obstetrician to care for you during your pregnancy.

Capstone will pay for the following pregnancy care:

Doctor Visits
Medications
Laboratory Tests
Ultrasounds
Delivery of Your Baby
Child Birth Classes

It is important you make an appointment to see an obstetrician as soon as possible. You will get a regular schedule of appointments to keep throughout your pregnancy. Keeping your appointments and getting good care during your pregnancy is the best way to have a happy, healthy baby.
