"To Do" List

  • What to Expect When You Are Expecting

Information about what to expect during leave for pregnancy, leave for dads, and adoption.

Note:  You have 31 days from the date of birth/adoption to get your baby added to the District’s Insurance.  You must contact the District’s Benefits Office within this timeframe to have the child added.  Babies are only covered automatically for 31 days, after that, their coverage is terminated unless the Office has received proper documentation.

Base Plan Example *  (CHILDBIRTH EXAMPLE)

          $50 OBGYN Office Visit Copay   (Initial visit to confirm pregnancy)

          $10,000  surgery and hospital stay charges

          You Pay       $1000  Deductible
                         +    $500  Admission copay
                              $1500

          $10,000 - $1500 = $8,500 remaining charges

          You Pay  30% of $8,500  = $2,550 your coinsurance

          ax Out of Pocket $5,000

          Total paid for $10,000 surgery:   $1000 + $2,550 = $3,550 
                                                         (not counting office visit copays or prescriptions)
