Maternity Benefits/Coverage

Maternity benefits include a part or all of the medical cost during a woman’s pregnancy/childbirth. Coverage is broken down into inpatient and outpatient treatments. Typically, inpatient coverage includes hospitalisation and physician fees associated with childbirth. Outpatient coverage pays for prenatal and postnatal obstetrician-gynaecologist office visits. In all policies covering maternity benefits, there is always a sub-limit associated with this coverage.
