Enrolling your baby in
\nKaiser Permanente<\/h1>\n

Your baby\u2019s health coverage<\/h3>\n

Your Kaiser Permanente maternity benefits cover your baby for 31 days from birth (including the date of birth). Please note that if you do not enroll your baby in a health plan within 31 days of birth, your baby may lose his or her health coverage.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1626035529326{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n

To ensure your baby has health coverage, it is important that you take these four simple steps in the first few days of your baby\u2019s life:<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

    \n
  1. Maintain your health plan membership.<\/strong> Your health plan benefits include prenatal and postpartum care for you and your baby. You may be charged non-member fees for any care you or your baby receives after your membership lapses.<\/li>\n
  2. During your hospital stay, fill out a form to enroll your baby in your Kaiser Permanente health plan.<\/strong> Your baby\u2019s name will be needed for enrollment and for his or her birth certificate, so please be prepared to name your baby before leaving the hospital.<\/li>\n
  3. Within 31 days of your baby\u2019s birth, fill out any necessary forms for your employer, group, or trust fund.<\/strong> If your health coverage is through your employer or your spouse or partner\u2019s employer, you will need to contact them to have your baby added to the plan. If you are enrolled in a group plan, your employer or trust fund will typically require a written change of enrollment.<\/li>\n
  4. Your group\u2019s forms are often in addition to the forms you fill out during your hospital stay.<\/strong> Be sure to ask your employer or group administrator which forms you will need and the date by which you must submit them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625549173395{margin-top: 30px !important;}”]Note: If you are a Direct Pay member, you must also submit a written Change of Account Status card to Direct Pay Accounts within 31 days of your baby\u2019s birth. The coverage will begin the first of the month following the date of birth.<\/p>\n

    Enrollments received after the 31-day enrollment period will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1596″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text el_class=”content_subheader” css=”.vc_custom_1627346956079{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]\n
