I am 5 weeks pregnant. I purchased geisinger ins Jan 1st 2007 and then dropped it Jan 31st 2007 since there maturnity coverage was horrible! My hubby has had the same ins for years Blue Cross / Blue Shield.His boss pays for his ins 100% due to my hubbys requests to work for there company. I bought geisinger ins b/c it was cheaper for me to have induvidual through geisinger than to have a fmily plan through his work... about 800$!!! plus...we didnt think we would get so lucky on conceiving so fast :) we are blessed... moving on... He added me on Feb 1st 2006 and I am covered 100% and everything will be covered 100%. He just got a fabulous job offer 75k plus a yr. The new corp has the BC/BS Ins also. Will I be covered? I called BC/BS and they said if the plan is group I will be covered which it will be since its a HUGE CORPORATION... although what about the waiting period for Ins at a new job if there is one we arent sure yet, just being prepared.... any advise?

You could be entitled to COBRA benefits if you were covered under a health plan at your previous employment. Check with your previous employer or your previous group health insurer. Your husband's policy might not insure you at this time since you'd have to complete an "evidence of insurability" showing that you don't have a previous health condition--i.e. pregnancy. Your child could very possibly be covered under your husband's health plan from birth. Contact your husband's employer's group insurance administrator to find out.

I have bl/bs mine does not cover maternity. So i have no insurance for this pregnancy. My husband makes to much to get the medical card. But I have found this Maternity card. You can check it out here is the site www.maternitycard.com I have looked into other insurance places but I get your already pregnant there is nothing we can do. Good luck to you!

Law will not let them leave your baby out and same company with different job is still same insurance without laspe. Quit your worry = you are covered just like they said.

If there is a waiting period you might be out of luck. You may also be considered having a preexisting condition and then it won't be covered.

since you will be with the same insurance you will have no problem being covered for your maternity at his new company.
