Q: I would like to talk to somebody about medical insurance that I saw online. I am already 3 months pregnant.
A: Since pregnancy requires specific treatment that is not covered by commercial medical insurance, it makes no sense to talk with any of the insurance plan representatives listed on the Internet at sites like FreedomBenefits.net. All too often, young women wind up enrolling in an insurance that they think will cover their delivery but it does not. The best resource is your physician, if you have one, or a local health clinic in your community. If you have financial problems you should speak with your county welfare office as well. The good news is that all states any many communities have programs to ensure healthy delivery of babies, with or without health insurance. After you have made arrangements for pre-natal care and delivery expenses without insurance, you can add supplemental insurance with plans like "Basic Health Insurance" "Value Med" and "Value Health" at FreedomBenefits.net. But please make sure that you focus on taking care of the more important issues first.
