One of the major achievements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the comprehensive protection it offers to pregnant women.
Services Covered at No Additional Cost
Under Obamacare plans, many preventive care services are covered without out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles. This includes:
- Preconception care.
- Prenatal checkups.
- Routine baby examinations.
Additionally, essential preventive tests are included, such as:
- Screening for anemia.
- Gestational diabetes testing.
- Hepatitis B detection.
- Blood disorder assessments.
All of these are considered preventive care, meaning they are fully covered by health insurance.
Plan Your Pregnancy with Obamacare
If you’re planning to have a child this year, it’s crucial to enroll in an Obamacare health plan during the open enrollment period, which ends on January 15.
In states like Florida, pregnancy is not considered a qualifying life event that allows enrollment outside the open enrollment period. Therefore, if you don’t enroll and become pregnant, you will only be eligible for insurance upon the baby’s birth. This means you could miss out on all the preventive care benefits included for pregnant women.
Guaranteed Protection
The ACA ensures full and prioritized access to the necessary care for a healthy pregnancy. Don’t miss this opportunity.
