SURE..I'll let you know. You are given the Access Card through your local DPW ( Department of Public Welfare). Usually it's Low-Income ( Single Mom, College Students,etc.) , Elderly, etc. who 'qualify'. Also...they have an 'Emergeny' Access Card ( usually for those women who enter the 'system' and are ALREADY pregnant).

Just one note- it's not through Medicare, which is a federal government healthcare program added to Social Security in 1965. You are referring to Medicaid, which is a state-run program jointly FINANCED through both the feds and the states.

Medicare only applies for those age 65 and older, and certain persons under age 65 with qualifying disabilities.

Probably a little late to the discussion here, but I Assurant has some popular plans for maternity coverage. Their waiting period is only three months to conceive in most states.

Anthem also is attractive, but won't help with medical bills leading up to the waiting period.

Yes My friend there are lot of insurance plan for pregnancy so you will get relief from more expense.

Most women find it difficult to obtain health insurance after they become pregnant is this: pregnancy is considered a pre-existing health condition. People with pre-existing health conditions,So in market contact to agent who will give more information & provide insurance.

If you are pregnant and do not have maternity coverage in your health insurance plan then in america there are many option available.:

1)AmeriPlan : This is discount plan so you can save money upto 30- 40 %
Only pregnant women and other people with pre-existing conditions may apply.

2)Medicaid : In this option , Programs vary by state, so check to see what exact programs your state offers.

3)WIC :Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is government sponsored option for pregnant, uninsured women. The costs will range from about $2,000-$3,000, which is about half of what a hospital birth would cost.

Other than many private companies are providing insurance for pregnancy. So try gather information & select which best for you

I hope this information is suffcient for you to understand.

Just to add further on AmeriPlan:

*AmeriPlan is not health insurance, and AmeriPlan Corporation is not a health insurance company. So all ongoing medical conditions are accepted with some exceptions—contracted treatment plans, orthodontic treatment, etc. So, you can apply for AmeriPlan after you get pregnant and have no worries about being rejected for that reason.

*There is no waiting period on most of your discounts, no deductibles, no documents to fill out, and no limits on how many times you can visit your providers. So, you can apply during your 8th month of pregnancy and still rely on AmeriPlan to cover some of the costs.

*As an AmeriPlan member, there are two ways the hospital or clinic can use to calculate your fees. It's either a set fee amount that the provider has contracted with, or as percentage off their charges. Discounts on your part range between 20% to 50%. But diagnostics and labs may be discounted as much as 80%.

Just thought I would add some clarity. Hope this helps Smile

Most of the Insurance companies allowed the traveling Insurance for 30 weeks and denied the claim after that duration while in travel if some miserable situations occur.
