Note on Maternity Coverage. Pregnancy is generally considered to be a preexisting condition. Before Obamacare, if you were pregnant when you joined an insurance plan that excluded coverage for preexisting conditions including pregnancy, you would not be covered for maternity costs.
Before 2014, maternity coverage wasn't a guaranteed benefit, and only about 12% of plans sold in the individual market included this coverage, according to ObamaCareFacts.com. Maternity coverage was offered only by some health insurance plans or had to be added as a special rider to a plan.
