If you’re in California and have health insurance in California, then this one’s for you.
As of 7/1/12, you’re all going to have maternity benefits added to your existing coverage. Wahoo!
Yes, it’s true… SB 222 and AB 210, passed last year by our illustrious governor, are going to give each and every one of you this brand new benefit in your health insurance.
The new benefit will include, office visits, prenatal care, delivery and postnatal care. The benefits for maternity costs will be treated just like any other benefits under your plan… deductible and co-pays will still apply.
And to reassure your pretty little heads, because this benefit is being added to all plans – and, therefore, the cost risk is spread over many, many more policies – your monthly premiums should not be affected.
Babies for all!
