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

Is a 5D ultrasound safe for my baby?
Yes, 5D ultrasound uses the same safe sound wave technology as traditional ultrasounds and has not been shown to pose any risks to the fetus.
Can I get a 5D ultrasound just for keepsake photos?
While 5D ultrasounds produce very clear images, their primary purpose is medical diagnosis. If your sole goal is keepsake photos, a 3D ultrasound might be more commonly offered for that specific purpose.
Will insurance cover a 5D ultrasound?
