Is pregnancy a pre-existing condition?
Answer:
Since the passing of Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, you can no longer be denied health insurance coverage for pregnancy or any other pre-existing condition. All Medicaid and Marketplace plans are required to cover pregnancy, regardless of the timing of the pregnancy. Regarding qualified life events that allow you to update your health insurance plan, pregnancy is not considered a qualified life event, while having a child is.
