Having  a  Baby in the Czech Republic?

Pregnancy and Maternity Coverage

Prenatal, Postnatal and New Born Care

I have public health insurance card, is my pregnancy covered?

 

If you are holder of a green public health insurance card your pregnancy and birth of your baby is covered, however the postnatal care of the newborn is not covered under your insurance. To have your baby covered for postnatal care, you have to purchase our Newborn plan/Maternity plan.

Your baby can’t be enrolled under your insurance after you leave the hospital. Make sure your baby is covered for necessary check ups and vaccination with our Comprehensive insurance plan.


Consider the following when planning to give birth:

Who will pay the doctor and hospital bills?

A routine pregnancy and delivery could cost over 80,000.CZK in the Czech Republic and Medical Costs for complications during pregnancy or after delivery are even more!

How will I afford the medical bills if there are any complications requiring surgery or a prolonged hospital stay?
