Community Health Plan of Washington’s ChildrenFirst program provides new parents with financial rewards for taking their children to the doctor up to the age of 18.
To start, CHPW will give parents $65 to purchase a car seat, which is required by state law for children under the age of eight. Other rewards come from getting children their flu shots, immunizations, and attending other recommended well child visits, each putting $20 back in parents’ pockets. Rewards are given to parents as gift cards. The hope is that these rewards will help parents establish healthy habits for their children and avoid potentially serious health conditions by catching them early.
The ChildrenFirst program is free and available to CHPW members who are either pregnant or have children under the age of 18. For more information about CHPW, or how to become a member or the ChildrenFirst Program visit https://chpw.org/.
