What is Maternity Health Insurance?

Maternity insurance is a type of health insurance that covers maternity-related expenses. Although parenthood is one of the most overwhelming experiences, it comes with additional expenses. A progressive increase in medical expenses and soaring hospitalisation charges may create a financial crunch for couples if they haven’t sought pregnancy insurance in time.

Why is Maternity Health Insurance Necessary?

As mentioned above maternity comes with extra expenses. Even a normal delivery cost ranges between Rs 50,000 to Rs 80,000, whereas the C-Section costs around 1-2 lac in metro cities, depending on complications. Therefore, a well-planned maternity health insurance plan can be your absolute companion when you wish to become parent. The policy covers the in-patient maternity expenses with a newborn baby covered up to Rs 50,000. The scope of coverage also includes pre and post-hospitalisation expenses, daycare treatment cover, ambulance cover etc.
Thus, the Insurance for maternity helps you enjoy your parenthood and focus on recovery without the stress of arranging finances. At Care Health Insurance, our medical insurance for pregnancy plan- JOY ensures the best healthcare facilities for the expecting mother and the newborn baby without financial worries.

When to Buy a Maternity Health Insurance Plan

Ideally, anyone planning to start a family should buy a maternity health insurance plan as early as possible. By doing so, they will be able to serve the waiting period before starting a family. All maternity insurance plans have stipulated waiting periods during which the insured women cannot make any claims for pregnancy-related medical costs.

Further, buying a plan at an early age can help ensure extensive cover when needed, helping women manage the expenses for delivery, prenatal care, and postnatal care without any additional financial burden. Hence, it is advisable that women invest in comprehensive maternity insurance at least a couple of years before starting a family. Further, you must remember to check the waiting period before buying a policy, as it might vary from plan to plan.
