Note on Maternity Coverage. Pregnancy is generally considered to be a preexisting condition. Before Obamacare, if you were pregnant when you joined an insurance plan that excluded coverage for preexisting conditions including pregnancy, you would not be covered for maternity costs.
Individual plans and pre-existing conditions. Currently, if you apply for an individual health plan, the insurance company can refuse to cover you or decide to charge you more if you are an adult with a pre-existing condition. 1  This will change when new patient protections start in 2014.
