Newborn Health Insurance Checklist

Insurance can sometimes be difficult to understand. We have devised the following checklist to guide you. Insurance is ultimately the parent’s responsibility but we are happy to help if you have questions.

    Remember to call your insurance and enroll your newborn in your insurance plan. You have thirty days to comply but  we  strongly recommend that you do this as soon as possible. Many parents call their insurance before they are discharged from the hospital.

    Inform the front desk of all last names (including mother’s maiden name) by which your newborn might be registered either at the hospital or insurance.

    Be prepared to show your insurance card at the first office visit.

    Inform front desk if your newborn is covered by more than one insurance policy.

    Determine the amount of any deductible or co-pay your insurance requires.

    Check your well visit/immunization coverage of your policy.
