Ans: Hello;

Many health insurance companies offer coverage of maternity expenses in their plans, however you need to look out for:

1. Wating period ranging from 1 to 2 years. Maybe higher if spouse has some previous ailments like hypertension, diabetes etc and also if spouse age is higher.

Some companies may warrant a prior health check up before underwriting.

2. Sub-limits on coverage. For eg some companies offer limited neo-natal coverage.

3. List of network hospitals for cashless claim. Also need to avoid blacklisted hospitals.

4. Do your own study and also seek help from an insurance advisor.

Apart from private insurers do take a look at the offerings by Govt general insurance companies too.
