If you are uninsured and have discovered a new pregnancy, you are not alone. Approximately 13% of all pregnant women are without insurance, which means about 780,000 women each year have questions related to pregnancy and maternity insurance and coverage.
The fact that you are not alone does not make paying for prenatal care and pregnancy health services any easier, but Pregnancy Insurance is here to help.
