Re: Health insurance for newborn

I'm guessing here but I would expect your insurance will cover anything arising out of the birth. If it doesn't then insurance for your baby will be back dated and you will be responsible for premiums from that date. I doubt very much you could set up insurance before the birth. Either way, you shouldn't have to worry insurance wise.
Good luck! Exciting time!

Edit:
Just found this which answers your question:

Bottom line no need to do anything yet
Actually, I was told by our health insurance that it is better to let the insurance company know beforehand if you are going to have a baby. They make a note of it and, if there are any complications during birth you don't have to worry about who's going to pay what.

I called my health insurance saying I wanted to insure my children with them about a month before the due date. I paid premiums for the children after birth, but not for any time before.

I had enough other things to think about - I was glad to sort this out beforehand.
