Frequently Asked Health Questions

Are pre-existing conditions covered?

Yes. Under modern healthcare laws (such as the ACA in the US or universal systems), insurers cannot deny coverage or charge you more due to a pre-existing medical condition.

What is an Out-of-Pocket Maximum?

It is the absolute most you will have to pay for covered medical services in a year. Once you hit this limit, your insurance pays 100% of all covered costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I be concerned about my baby's constipation?
You should consult your pediatrician if your baby seems to be in significant discomfort, is straining excessively, has blood in their stool, is vomiting, has a fever, or if constipation persists for more than a week despite home remedies.
Can I give my baby prune juice?
For formula-fed babies, a small amount of 100% prune, pear, or apple juice (1-2 ounces per day) may be recommended by your pediatrician to help with constipation. For breastfed babies, it's generally not necessary, but always consult your doctor first.
Is it normal for my breastfed baby to go several days without a bowel movement?
Yes, it is quite normal for breastfed babies to have infrequent bowel movements, sometimes as little as once every few days or even longer, as breast milk is very efficiently digested. The key is that when they do have a bowel movement, the stool is soft and easily passed.
