Maternity coverage does not carry over past your expiration date of coverage. If you or your spouse is pregnant and want the maternity coverage to continue to your due date under this insurance plan, you MUST re-enroll in the plan to keep your coverage intact.
Elective abortion is covered as any other sickness.
Coverage for a newborn child will be effective from the moment of birth.
