Maternity Health Insurance is a health policy or add-on benefit that helps cover pregnancy-related medical expenses such as normal delivery, C-section delivery, pre and post natal care, and newborn baby expenses as per policy terms. In India, maternity cover is commonly available inside family floater plans or as an add-on benefit. Most plans come with a waiting period before claims are allowed. Policybazaar notes maternity waiting periods can range from 3 months to 6 years depending on the insurer and plan. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}\n\n> Buying maternity cover after pregnancy planning often becomes too late because waiting periods apply.\n\nThis category works best when purchased well before family planning starts.
