International Maternity Insurance

International Maternity Insurance

Having babies is expensive regardless of where you live. If you’re planning on having a baby while overseas, you need international health insurance – maternity. Why? Because, unfortunately, a regular overseas health insurance plan won’t cover this exciting event.

Not sure which international health insurance – maternity plan to select? Good Neighbor Insurance will find you the best maternity coverage for your circumstances from a variety of excellent choices.

 

We’ll select the best maternity plan for you based on:

  • Whether or not you are a US citizen
  • If you are having your baby in the US or abroad
  • Ensuring sufficient coverage in the country where you are having your baby
  • The policy’s waiting period before receiving maternity coverage
  • Coverage for your baby
  • Coverage for adoption or adopting a special needs child
  • If you want your family brought to you while in an overseas hospital

Below you’ll find a quick summary of each plan.

 

Best International Health Insurance – Maternity

Good Neighbor Insurance works with several carriers to find you the best long-term international health insurance – maternity and career medical insurance benefits. These plans cover those working overseas, or choosing to live abroad, for at least one year. 

 

Since everyone is different and every situation is unique, we offer a wide variety of plans to fit every family or individual need. And we have our most popular plans, and premium PPO world health insurance plans to fit every budget. If you know how much you pay for U.S. Health Insurance, you may be pleased to know that GNI can usually lower your premium for international insurance and save you money.

Frequently Asked Questions

We provide answers to your frequently asked questions below:

What if I am already pregnant?

  • If you’re already pregnant, you will not be able to get international medical coverage for your pregnancy.
  • If you’re pregnant and covered by insurance in your home country, and not planning to deliver while traveling, we have travel plans that cover emergencies related to pregnancy.

What are the best plans, can you compare them for me?

  • The short answer is that the GeoBlue plans are the best, especially if you are from the USA and expect to deliver in the U.S.
  • The best plan for non-U.S. citizens may be Cigna’s Gold or Platinum plans (silver does not include maternity benefits).
  • The other maternity plans are also good. Just remember, higher premiums usually equals better coverage.
  • Here is the link to our comparison chart

We are considering not getting maternity coverage. Will I still be able to get insurance for my child?

  • Navigator and Xplorer: If enrolled within 31 days of birth, babies are automatically accepted regardless of maternity coverage or not.
  • GMMI Platinum: (Maternity is included) The baby is automatically accepted if they are enrolled within 31 days from birth. All other GMI/GMMI plans will require an application which will undergo full medical underwriting.
  • Meridian Essential and Enhanced: Medical application must be completed for all dependents to be added. If the application is not received within 30 days of birth, the child will have a separate policy from the family.

We are considering adopting children eventually. Will my child be accepted on my insurance plan?

  • GeoBlue Navigator and Xplorer: If added to your coverage within 31 days of adoption, all children are automatically accepted.
  • GMMI Plans: An application for the new child must be completed, and they will go through underwriting. A child could be declined or medical conditions could be excluded.
  • Meridian Essential and Enhanced: An application for the new child must be completed and they will go through underwriting. A child could be declined or medical conditions could be excluded.

Which plan is best for adopting a special needs child?

  • If you think you may adopt a special needs child, we recommend one of the GeoBlue plans. Your GeoBlue plan must be in place before the adoption process begins or your application will be declined.

Can I add maternity insurance benefits later?

  • Most of these options have restrictions on switching plans or increasing benefits for maternity care at a later date. You will need to reapply if you want to do this and new waiting periods will be in effect. GeoBlue will allow you to add the maternity benefits at each renewal.

Helpful Advice

Start the process of information gathering early

It’s not too early to start planning! We’d be happy to help you evaluate overall cost/benefits to any health insurance plan plus and minus maternity benefits. This will help you make the best choice for your family. Call us at 480-813-9100 or email us your thoughts and questions and we’ll walk you through it. It’s not unusual to begin this information gathering process up to a year before you’re leaving. This allows you time to think, discuss and budget.
