That is crazy expensive! The $2,000 was based on my insurance company at the time I published this article. That rate has now increased to $2,500. I guess you might want to shop around for something with a more affordable maternity rider. @SC For $900 per month I would not add a maternity rider. That is crazy expensive!

Our current provider is asking for an additional $900/month -- $10,800 a year for a maternity rider. (And they won't even give any details until we start paying.) Just curious... HSA is looking mighty tempting. Where do you get the information about the maternity rider adding $2,000 in a year?

That would definitely be a reason to get the rider. But, be sure to ask. In my case my wife does have maternity, but not automatic acceptance for the infant - hmmm. @Tom

Otherwise, the newborn will have to go through the underwriting process. If the newborn has any complications at birth, this will make it difficult to get insurance. This in itself may make paying the cost of the rider worth it. Based upon my research, some insurance plans will only automatically enroll the newborn under the plan if you have the maternity rider.
