There are many exciting things you need to do in the first few days after you have your baby. In all the excitement, please remember to call your medical insurance company and add your new baby to your health care coverage. It is very important to do this as soon as possible, since most companies only allow you 30 days after the birth or adoption of a child to place him or her on the health care policy. If you miss that 30 day time window, you may have to wait until the next open enrollment period to add the child to your insurance.

As you know, thirty days goes by very quickly (especially with a new baby), so please call your medical insurance company as soon as possible. We at Little Company of Mary are very interested in the continued health care of your family, and are providing this reminder to help you avoid any inconvenience in the future.
