- Nurse care coordination for high-risk and at-risk pregnancies
- Pregnancy smoking cessation

If you are eligible for this program, an Aetna nurse will call to help you get started after your first claim for maternity related expenses is received by Aetna.
You can also call 1-800-CRADLE-1 (1-800-272-3531) to enroll yourself, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Eastern Time. Or, you can log in to our secure Aetna Navigator member website at www.aetna.com > Benefits > Health Programs.
