Q About Insurance and Maternity Coverage
When I was pregnant with Abby I had to pay something like $200/ appointment or 1/month once the appointments got close together. I had insurance through school and still had to pay that high of a fee on top of the premium. This was before the Obamacare mandate happened. I was looking it up online today and saw that there is not supposed to be any co-pays or charges for pre-natal care. Is this true? Are you ladies having your check-ups at no cost? Please let me know what happened if you were pregnant after Obamacare passed. My cousin was pregnant the same time as me 3 years ago and she didn't have to pay anything for her appointments, only labor and delivery. Thanks!
On another note... I ordered 2 books for Abby to use to announce to DH when I get pregnant again. I got Waiting for Baby and I'm a Big Sister. I hid them in the closet and plan on asking him to read Abby a bedtime story the day I find out we're pregnant with #2.
Re: Q About Insurance and Maternity Coverage
What you pay really depends on your plan.
Well, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Won't matter how things were covered with the old company. All that will matter is how your current ob and current insurance work together. In a lot of ways, that'll be a lot less stessfull. You won't be going "my last insurance covered this." with them going "well, we're not your last insurance".
So far this pregnancy I haven't had to pay any office fees. I've had to pay some of the ultrasound and lab work.
