Your Maternity Care

Maternity care is covered under your standard Medicaid benefits. Standard maternity benefits include:

  • Office visits and tests before your baby is born
  • Your hospital stay and care when you have your baby
  • Office visits and tests after your baby is born

Note: If you joined Highmark Health Options during the last three months of your pregnancy, you may be allowed to stay with your current doctor, even if that doctor is not in our network.
