Is a male on the application expecting a child with anyone?
A newborn child can be a big liability to the insurance company. Even if they are born completely healthy, there will be regular check-ups as part of the post-natal treatment. But, this is not the primary concern of the insurance company. They are concerned that the child will be born with complications that require lengthy hospital stays and monitoring by highly compensated medical specialists. Since they have no way of predicting the future health of an unborn child, they are not able to accurately access their risks in providing insurance to this newborn. By providing health insurance to the expectant father, they are extending this coverage to the unborn child. 1 CommentLeave a comment |

How do we get health insurance for our newborn son? I am 20 weeks pregnant and I read in a book, I got from my parents, that I should already choose a pediatrician doctor to examine my newborn baby at the hospital, but the problem is that I don’t have insurance that would cover him yet. How can I get children health insurance for a newborn? My boyfriend and I are both dependents on our parents insurance policies until we get out of college, so we can’t just add him on their insurance. How would we do this the best way and how much would it cost? Where do we go? Last year I made more than $25000 so I don’t think that I will qualify for government assistance.
