Hi,
I am currently looking into getting Health Insurance cover for my wife. All options fairly pricey so just taking out cover for her and not for myself. We are young couple and maternity cover will be main concern at this stage. I see that there is a 52 week waiting period for maternity.
Can anyone advise firstly what cover we would be entitled to if we take out cover and require hospital visit for maternity within 52 weeks. We are both employed and neither have a medical card. My wife works in hopitality industry at slightly above minimum wage while i am a CO in civil service albiet at lowest scale.
Would we have to pay for everything in this case i.e. scans, staying in hospital, and everthing else that goes with it. If so, could be very costly.
Secondly, anyone recommend a health plan where maternity the main concern and adequate cover provided?
Thanks
