Health insurance for pregnancy

Are you pregnant? Remember to declare your pregnancy to your Health Insurance Fund in the first three months. This first step will allow the Health Insurance to better help you and support you throughout your pregnancy.

The declaration of pregnancy

Once your pregnancy is confirmed, you make a first examination by your GP, a gynecologist or midwife. During the exam, you will take stock of your health. Remember to report your allergies, personal and family history, current treatments, etc..

During this consultation, your doctor or midwife tells you the expected date of early pregnancy and you are prescribed additional tests for:

* Determine your blood type;
* Search for certain diseases with risk (rubella, toxoplasmosis, etc..).

This consultation is also an opportunity to talk with your doctor or midwife. You can express your expectations, your needs for your project from birth, ask questions, etc. You also make the point on your lifestyle and the potential risks associated with pregnancy (alcohol, tobacco, food, sport …).
How to declare your pregnancy?

Following this examination, your doctor gives you a three-part document entitled  First prenatal checkup. You must send:

* The pink slip to your Health Insurance Fund with the leaves of care consistent with medical and laboratory examinations that you have spent to obtain support for monitoring pregnancy and childbirth.
* Two blue sheets to your family benefit fund (CIF).

Warning, you must send this document before the end of your 3rd month of pregnancy. The sooner your pregnancy is declared and faster your care will be covered 100% under the maternity insurance.
