What is Maternity Insurance?

Maternity insurance is a type of health insurance that covers maternity-related expenses. Although parenthood is one of the most overwhelming experiences, it comes with additional expenses. A progressive increase in medical expenses and soaring hospitalisation charges may create a financial crunch for couples if they haven’t sought pregnancy insurance in time.

Why is Health Insurance with Maternity Coverage Necessary?

As mentioned above maternity comes with extra expenses. Even a normal delivery cost ranges between Rs 50,000 to Rs 80,000, whereas the C-Section costs around 1-2 lac in metro cities, depending on complications. Therefore, a well-planned maternity health insurance plan can be your absolute companion when you wish to become parent. The policy covers the in-patient maternity expenses with a newborn baby covered up to Rs 50,000. The scope of coverage also includes pre and post-hospitalisation expenses, daycare treatment cover, ambulance cover etc.
