Insurance Coverage for Pregnancy

When you are planning to become pregnant or find out that you are pregnangt, read your insurance policy to find out what is covered  and what is not.  

• Look for an in network obstetrician, hospital and pediatrician. Many policies cover a higher percentage of the services from providers in their networks. Check your insurance company's website for a list of coverages and providers.
• Review what amount your policy allows for well-baby care.  Some policies limit this amount each year.  If your pediatrician is giving your child immunizations and vaccinations, you may quickly use all of the amount allotted for well-baby care.  
• Many county health departments offer clinics for immunizations and vaccines at a low cost, regardless of income level.  You may also be able to get any vaccines you need for yourself such as an MMR booster or the adult whooping cough vaccine for a  reduced cost when you take your child in for immunizations.
