Hi everyone I’m a first time mom due later this January, and I’m wondering how to go about getting my baby health insurance? I’m currently still on my parents health insurance but this does not cover my baby. Baby’s father has insurance thru government or something like that, I’m not really sure what his plan is exactly, but I read that babies will only be automatically covered under medicaid if their mom is which I am not. I am from NY but living in PA with my bf although I have not fully transferred my license here yet or anything like that so I technically am still an NY resident. He is a PA resident.
How can I go about preparing for this? Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I’m not looking for private insurance. I was a student and still am but am not working right now and won’t be for at least the first 6 months. I’m my dad’s dependent as of now and he is retired. My bf just started working a job where he’s making more money than he was previously, so next tax season, or something like that, he’s figuring that the low income insurance he has now will be taken away.
Basically, how do I go about signing my baby up for some type of medicaid insurance? As I have not held a steady career-like job literally ever (I just turned 23 and am a senior in college). Since I am a dependent I guess it doesn’t matter what I make, it matters what my dad makes? This is all so confusing.
