Other Health Benefits

If you enroll in a medical plan through Allegiance, you receive additional medical benefits, including:

Maternity Management Program

The program is designed to help guide you through your pregnancy and is available at no cost. Your personal maternity nurse will be available by phone or secure email before and after your pregnancy. And, you receive a $25 gift card upon completion of the program.

Blueberry Pediatrics

Virtual health appointments are a convenient option when your child is ill or when you are looking for advice on potty training, breastfeeding, food safety, sleeping through the night and other topics. Blueberry Pediatrics provides quality care from the comfort of your home day or night, with on-demand, pediatric-specialized telemedicine available through phone, video call or text with board-certified pediatricians. When you register, you’ll receive a free exam kit that contains a smart earscope/otoscope, thermometer and pulse oximeter to help you and your virtual pediatric team quickly diagnose and treat illnesses. This service is free to employees with children and teens under age 18 who are enrolled in the Johns Hopkins All Children’s health insurance plan.

MDLIVE Virtual Doctor Visits

MDLIVE doctors are available 24/7 for virtual appointments. They can help diagnose and treat health issues and can even prescribe or refill existing medications. This is a safe and cost-effective alternative to urgent care clinics. You pay a $20 copay for your visit, which does not apply toward your deductible.

No-Pay Copay for Asthma & Diabetes Medications

The No-Pay Copay benefit will waive the copay for most asthma and diabetes medications if you’re enrolled in an Allegiance medical plan and participate in the Nurse Health Coaching program.

In the program, you’ll work one-on-one with a care manager to:

Evaluate your wellness and personal needs
Coordinate your health care
