Maternity Coverage and the Million Dollar Baby

By Thomas Cazneau

Kaiser Permanente Maternity Delivery Recently, a couple from Australia received a million dollar hospital bill because their travel insurance did not cover pregnancy delivery outside of the couple’s country. The couple (John Kan and Rachel Evans) had purchased two travel type insurance packages because both insurance companies claimed to have maternity coverage. However, during their vacation to Vancouver, B.C, Rachel unexpectedly went into early delivery, and they found out that maternity services and baby delivery were not covered by either of these insurance packages. While they are overjoyed by their new daughter and do not begrudge their situation, any financial relief would be welcomed by any parents faced with a million dollar hospital bill.

Kaiser Permanente Maternity Insurance on 3 More Health Plans

Happy Hospital DeliveryBy Esmeralda Mercado

With Gov. Jerry Brown’s passing of SB 222 and AB 210, health insurance policies must soon include maternity benefits starting July 1, 2012. Accordingly, carriers such as Kaiser Permanente in California will be adding pregnancy coverage to three private plans, which currently exclude maternity insurance: the $40/3000, $40/4000, and $50/5000 Deductible Plans. As a health insurance broker for Kaiser Permanente, we are excited about the change. We are looking forward to these popular plans drawing even more interest. Although rates may change, we anticipate that the three plans will continue to offer some of the lowest priced options, and now, include affordable maternity coverage.

Kaiser Group Health Insurance Special Open Enrollment

By Esmeralda Mercado

Business Health Insurance The company I work for offers health benefits with Kaiser Permanente. Recently, we learned that California businesses which are currently insured by Kaiser for group health insurance may be able to switch plans effective January 2012, if they qualify. This is a big deal for people who want to lower their premiums and those who want to synchronize their benefits with the deductible reset in January. To switch plans during the limited Special Open Enrollment period, two of the main qualifiers are that the plan switch has to be to a downgraded plan and the paperwork needs to be turned in by the December 15, 2011 deadline.
