If you don't have medical insurance when you get pregnant and then get coverage, the new health plan does not have to immediately cover your pregnancy. The new plan could make you wait a couple of months before coverage is offered.
Switching jobs while you're pregnant may result in lapse of coverage, even when you are pregnant. If you do begin a new job during a pregnancy, it is possible that you might have to wait up to a couple of months for coverage.
If you work for an employer with 15 or more employees, a federal law requires that your plan cover your pregnancy-related medical bills.
Check with your plan to see if you have to contact your health insurance company when you're admitted to the hospital for labor and delivery. Some health plans will penalize you financially if you don't call shortly after your admission.
Check your area for free clinics or clinics that charge a sliding scale. If you don't have insurance, a free clinic may offer assistance.
Consider applying for Medicaid if you are uninsured. You must meet the program's low-income requirements before being accepted.
