Q: I am currently pregnant, due
in August, and am looking for a policy that would include coverage for
birth-related emergencies during the time of the policy when I come
from London to New York.
A: In the U.S., a pregnant woman
is not eligible for regular commercial health insurance that covers
pregnancy until the post-partum examination. Exceptions include
employer-provided group health insurance and travel insurance. A short
term international travel policy is available, but will limit or
exclude coverage for your pre-existing medical conditions including
pregnancy-related issues. More information is available at
