 Health insurance explained

You will need to add your newborn to your policy within three months of your baby’s birth. This way, your baby will be covered from their birth and won’t have to serve any new waiting periods, provided you have completed yours.

If you’re currently on a Single or Couples policy and want your newborn to be covered, you will need to increase your cover to a Parent Plus or Family policy. If you’re already on a Family policy, you won’t need to pay anything extra to add your newborn to the policy.
