Expat Maternity Insurance

Maternity Insurance for Expats

Private maternity care in Asia is increasingly becoming more costly for couples planning on starting a family, fortunately for expats including a maternity coverage benefit in your health insurance plan can alleviate the financial stress during a pregnancy.

Maternity cover for planned pregnancies is one of the most financially rewarding benefits of having a health insurance plan that includes maternity cover, since the maternity benefit paid out by the insurer almost always exceeds the cost of the annual premium paid.

A natural birth, C-section or any type of complications that occurs during a pregnancy can cause the costs to quickly escalate.

Most expat maternity plans have a waiting period of either 12 or 24 months meaning you need to have maternity cover for at-least 12 or 24 months prior to the pregnancy, its important to check and clarify what the waiting periods are with the insurer.

If you or your partner are already pregnant the options for enrolling on a new maternity insurance plan start to become limited, contact us and our team will explore the coverage options available with you.
