Health coverage if you're pregnant, plan to get pregnant, or recently gave birth
All Health Insurance Marketplace® and Medicaid plans cover pregnancy and childbirth. This is true even if your pregnancy begins before your coverage starts. Maternity care and newborn care — services provided before and after your child is born — are essential health benefits. This means all qualified health plans inside and outside the Marketplace must cover them. Choose your situation below for more information: If you’re pregnant or planning to get pregnant: If you don’t have health coverage

Health coverage makes it easier to get the medical check-ups and screening tests to help keep both you and your baby healthy during pregnancy. If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a life event like moving or losing other coverage, you may be able to enroll in a Marketplace health plan right now. Being pregnant doesn’t make you eligible, but the birth of a child does.
