Many health insurance companies will provide maternity coverage on their policies. It is important that the policyholder specifically request a maternity benefit on a plan if they wish to receive this cover at some later date.
Typically, a maternity benefit will be attached to a waiting period. This means that you may have to wait a pre-determined amount of time (usually between 12 and 24 months from the start of the plan) before you are allowed to receive any of the maternity benefits offered by a policy. You may not claim for any treatment related to maternity which you have received during the waiting period.
Normal maternity insurance policies will typicall include benefits for the coverage of;
* Pre-Natal Treatments * Normal delivery * Complications of delivery * Post-Natal Treatments. A more comprehensive maternity insurance plan may also include coverage for benefits including;
* IVF Treatments * New born child care * Congenital birth defect treatment. It is important to note that many insurance companies will treat maternity as a pre-existing condition (hence the waiting period). It is not normally possible to obtain coverage from a maternity insurance plan if you purchase the policy whilst already pregnant.

Yes. Many insurance companies will place a waiting period on maternity coverage to ensure that the policyholder is not purely purchasing the policy to take advantage of a maternity benefit.
