Home-delivered meals for qualifying new moms
First Choice offers 14 home-delivered, ready-to-eat meals for qualifying new moms after they give birth to their child.*
To qualify:
- New moms have had one call with the Bright Start team with a completed maternity survey and discussed the Meals for Moms benefit during their pregnancy.
- After the child is born, the Bright Start team will work with the qualifying mom to confirm the delivery address and submit the request for the meals. All 14 meals arrive in one shipment.
If someone from Bright Start is unable to reach the member within four weeks after the birth of the child to confirm the delivery address, we will be unable to process the request.
*Applies to babies delivered on or after July 1, 2021.
