When do you add children to health care? before or after birth?

My daughter is due in a month and I don't know if I add her to my insurance before or after birth.When do you add children to health care? before or after birth?It's unlikely that your insurer will allow you to insure someone who isn't here. You usually have thirty to sixty days after a, "life event," to make a change to your insurance. In this case, that event is the birth of your kid.

After. The insurance company will want to know the exact name and date of birth and to know if it was in fact a live birth. My insurance company will add new children if you email them within 30 days of birth (after that it requires extra forms to be filled out). It's worth asking your insurance company though as they may have a slightly different policy.When do you add children to health care? before or after birth?Call your insurance, but most insurance covers the baby under the mother's policy for the first 6 weeks. You would want to add her as soon after birth as possible though.
The baby is covered under the mother's insurance the first month and is added afterwards because most insurance companies want a social security number. Good Luck!!!When do you add children to health care? before or after birth?You will add her right after she is born :) Call them the day of or after to let them know you need to add your newborn to your insurance.Most give you 30 days to do so.Congrats!!When do you add children to health care? before or after birth?
After, like everyone said. HOWEVER call them now and obtain all the paperwork you need because that 6 week appointment comes up fast when your adjusting to the busyness of new parenthood.
After, of course. They will need the birth date which you won't have until after the child is born.When do you add children to health care? before or after birth?
Our insurance company told us to have the form on hand but we'll have to fill it out after she's born. We have within 30 days of her birth to add her.
After. She will be able to get by on yours for the first 30 days. They wont add her before she is born.
Most insurance will add the baby at birth.
