Maternity Leave for Individuals Difficult But Not Impossible To Obtain

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Maternity leave is available for most women (and, surprisingly, men) who work for a company that provides health care insurance as a benefit for their employees. This type of leave is covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The act requires certain employers to offer parenting, family and medical leave for qualified employees. Those who are qualified may have up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. To find out if there is a way that you can qualify if you’re an individual wanting maternity benefits coverage, contact your local licensed health care insurance agent.

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

You may have pre-existing health conditions that meant the insurance company you applied to declined to insure you. You didn’t know where to turn next, figuring you were totally out of luck. Well, it turns out you may not be.

Shop around, because the simple truth of the matter is that various insurance companies underwrite for different things at different rates. What one company may not accept, another company will allow with certain qualifications. For instance, let’s say you have high cholesterol and one company won’t insure you because they feel it is too high. The next company might say they’ll take you at a slightly higher rate so long as you can demonstrate you are taking medications to reduce the problem.
