Is birth covered immediately by insurance?

I am moving to Doha in September and am hoping to be pregnant, my husbands company is arranging medical cover with SEIB.

i wondered - is pregnancy and birth covered from the moment we take out the insurance policy? I had heard it may not be covered until we have held the policy for two years!

I just really want my husband to be present at the birth so would need to use a private hospital.

We have tried to email SEIB about this but haven't had a response as yet.

Thanks

Just lately i found out that not all insurance companies cover pregnancy.

If the policy covers, then theres no waiting for 2 years.

About your husband being with you during delivery depends on hospitals... so better check in advance with the doctor.

What do you mean by birth? Your child will be covered once the documents are completed and you obtained the insurance!

Did not they give you a booklet explaining cover, not cover and undercover with small stars on it.

Your Husband should raise the query to the HR of his hiring company.

Pregnancy and birth may or may not be covered for new policy sign up depending upon the premium paid by company and the terms offered by SEIB as policy benefits.
