• Maternity coverage is a mandatory inclusion in almost every health insurance plan offered to individuals, families, and group plans.

• Health insurance plans typically cover a range of maternity services, including outpatient services like prenatal and postnatal doctor visits, gestational diabetes screenings, and lab studies & medications, among others.

• Inpatient services like hospitalization and physician fees related to childbirth are also covered.

• Newborn baby care is included in maternity coverage, ensuring that the newborn's initial medical needs are addressed.

• Some health insurance plans may also cover lactation counseling and provide breastfeeding equipment.
