How to check if Maternity is covered in your TATA AIG - Medicare Policy

Brochures rarely spell out whether maternity or IVF is fully covered. The fine print hides the rest. Here's how to read your TATA AIG - Medicare Policy:

Search for terms like “Maternity Benefit”, “Family Planning”, “Assisted Reproductive Treatments”, “Fertility Expenses”, and “Pregnancy Complications”.
Check the waiting periods. Maternity and IVF often carry 9-48 month waits, even when covered.
Look for exclusions. IVF costs, outpatient treatments, and pre-existing pregnancy are often left out.
Check when newborn coverage starts. It often begins only after 90 days.
Read the sub-limits and co-pay clauses. Delivery may be capped (e.g., ₹50,000) or carry a 10-20% co-pay.
Note spouse rules. Some plans need both spouses on the same policy to unlock maternity benefits.
Mind the trimester. If you're already pregnant, maternity add-ons may be denied based on your current trimester.
Look for an add-on route. Some plans let you add maternity cover for a small extra premium. Check if TATA AIG - Medicare Policy offers it.

Maternity costs and financial impact

Maternity Gets Expensive Fast - Here's What to Expect

Routine check-ups are manageable. The big bills come from delivery, IVF, and complications:

IVF costs: ₹40,000 - ₹2,00,000 per cycle
Maternity hospitalization: ₹30,000 - ₹50,000 for delivery
C-sections or complications: ₹60,000 - ₹1,50,000
ICU costs for maternity complications: ₹18,000–₹30,000 per day

See how your policy's limits hit these costs, and plan ahead.

What Happens When You Try to Claim for Maternity?

Knowing the Benefit Is Good. Don't Stop There.

Here are real problems expectant parents and IVF patients run into:

Case 1: My maternity claim was rejected because my husband and I had not both completed the full waiting period.
Case 2: IVF was covered under my policy, but only 50% of the cost was reimbursed. A sub-limit capped the other 50%.
Case 3: My policy paid for delivery but not the IVF treatment before it. I didn't know IVF sat outside the standard maternity benefit.
Case 4: My newborn's vaccinations weren't reimbursed. They were classified as outpatient care.
Case 5: My wife was already 6 months pregnant, and no insurer would issue a maternity policy at that trimester.

Knowing what TATA AIG - Medicare Policy covers, and what it doesn't, keeps this from happening to you.
