hi,
I am just curious what is the procedure for health coverage of newborn.
Can I start searching for the plan week before newborn is actually born?
how does it works?
 
Having a baby & adopting a child means you may be able to enroll in or change 2018 Marketplace insurance
  • When you enroll in or change plans with a Special Enrollment Period, your new health coverage can start the day your baby is born — even if you enroll in the plan up to 60 days afterward.


Employer plan --
Contact your health plan or your spouse’s health plan as soon as possible to find out how to enroll your new baby in group health plan coverage.

As long as you enroll your newborn within 30 days of birth, coverage should be effective as of your baby’s birth date, and your baby cannot be subject to a preexisting condition exclusion.

Remember, you should enroll your baby within 30 days of the date of birth.
