Health insurance with maternity coverage?
I am shopping for an individual health insurance plan. I am currently covered through my husband's Army benefits, but he is about to get out of the Army. He will continue to have coverage as a disabled veteran, but I am having trouble finding an individual plan for myself with maternity coverage. We are moving to San Marcos next week and I will not be getting benefits through my new job.
Do you know of any health insurance companies that offer maternity coverage? Any alternative options? I am open to any suggestions and value all the help I can get! TIA!

SA- I have looked in to S&W but all the options available on their website don't mention maternity. Do you know any more about it or what plan it might be? Or is it a separate rider?
Leigha- The 12-18 month is something I am concerned about! If at all possible I'd like to find something that will kick in before then because we were looking at starting TTC in about 6 months. We originally planned to extend our military insurance (which is allowed for 18 months after separation from the Army) but now that H has been classified as a disabled veteran, he is covered through the VA and there isn't an option available for spouses. Free insurance for him is just too good to pass up but now I'm in a bit of a panic trying to figure out something for me!
JayandJack- I will check out Aflac. Thanks!

Aflac is not health coverage. It is like a short term diability policy that would pay a portion of your salary if you are out. It's likely to have a long waiting period for maternity too

Thank you! I am looking in to it now. For some reason all the plans that were displaying on their website didn't mention maternity. Must be their little secret, ha.
Thanks again!
