Prenatal and Postpartum Services

Services for Healthy Pregnancies

As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), we cover 100% of in-network preventive pregnancy care. Not all of the services below are preventive. So you could end up paying for some of them. Call Member Services at the back of your ID card if you have coverage questions.

Items in brackets are only for high-risk pregnancies and aren't needed for all pregnant women.
