Changing health insurance policy mid-pregnancy

[triona]

Hi,

Our health insurance policy is due for renewal on 1st May. I'm pregnant and our baby is due on 1st June. Usually I would shop around for health insurance each year. I'm just wondering if there are any pitfalls that I should be aware of this year if I change policy. I don't want any complications regarding level of cover or hospital adminstration.

Thanks, Triona

If you are already covered and change insurers you will still be covered. The only difference will be if you take a policy that has extra / higher benefits than the one you are on, in which case you won't be covered for the first 6 months of the new policy.
