hickssam25 asked:


Say if the waiting period is 10 months and you conceive 4 months from the start of maternity rider. Does this mean that the insurance company will foot the bill for delivery but not the pre-natal care , ultrasounds etc ? If you are a part of an employer’s group plan with maternity benefits/maternity rider, does this waiting period work differently?

   It is a federal mandate that pregnancy cannot be considered as a pre-existing condition. It is under the HIPAA laws and more information can be found here:

   Individual health insurance may be different between plans. Some plans word the maternity waiting period as X number of months for conception while others word it as X number of months for delivery.
