Q from YOU to Ninja HQ
“As a Travel Nurse, how can I get the best price possible for maternity coverage?”
Don't Overlook Staffing Agency Maternity Coverage
In this week’s episode of “Ask Betty!”, episode 142, the topic of maternity coverage and cost for travel nurses is discussed.
The question posed was: “As a travel nurse, how can I get the best price possible for maternity coverage?” Ninja Betty gives an answer that explains the importance of a travel nurse’s current agency.
If the nurse plans and utilizes their agency’s benefits, then they can get a better price than if the nurse obtained their coverage outside of their agency. Ninja Betty explains that the agency’s coverage usually covers much of the cost and that a nurse’s coverage outside of the agency may cost double and the amount of money needed for the baby is much more.
COBRA for Maternity Coverage - You Bet Your Nunchucks
Ninja Betty goes on to add that COBRA (also known as Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) coverage may be needed for only one to two months and, that supplemental coverage can be obtained to partner with it.
Transitioning to the next step, Ninja Betty encourages the nurse to message her with more health insurance questions, and a bonus offer is mentioned: if the question is used in an episode of “Ask Betty!”, you will get a free $25 Amazon gift card.
Maternity Coverage - You Have LOTS of Options
To ensure that travel nurses are able to obtain the best price possible for maternity coverage, it is important for them to understand all of the available options. Such options include the use of agency benefits, obtaining own coverage, and utilizing COBRA coverage.
Agency benefits can help to save a travel nurse a lot of money while still having a good coverage plan, and COBRA coverage may be used for a short period of time as well as within a combination of other coverage.
Considering the coverage that a travel nurse has and understanding the importance of the coverage and the cost that is involved at the same time is a process of continuous learning. It is a process that should start long before the pregnancy, as understanding the coverage may come in handy down the line. It is also a process that should involve a Health Insurance Ninja that can guide the travel nurse into choosing the right coverage plan. Doing so can help ensure that the nurse will be able to get the best price possible for their maternity coverage.
Review Staffing Agency Maternity Coverage with The Health Insurance Ninjas
It is always a good idea for travel nurses to start by figuring out what kind of agency plan is available to them. This can EVEN be provided (free of charge) by The Health Insurance Ninjas. Checking out the benefits provided and looking at the cost will give a better idea of the plan that will work best.
From there, talking to a Health Insurance Ninja and discussing the options with them will help to solidify the plan and save as much money as possible. Keep in mind that it is possible to get supplemental insurance to go with the existing coverage, which may be beneficial for longer terms and more coverage, and should be looked into as well.
