Just found out my Fiance is pregnant (awesome!), but since she just moved to our new place she’s in between jobs and is unemployed w/no insurance (not awesome) until she starts her next job already lined up but wont start for another month or two. We think she’s about 2 months along so we really want to get her to a dr appointment just to make sure everything checks out.
COBRA coverage is about $1k per month for her, Kaiser wouldn’t give us an estimate for a visit just said there is a $500 down payment towards the total but it could be much more, and it looks like Covered California doesn’t allow for short term insurance plans.
Any options for affordable dr visits or should we just pay the COBRA costs for the month and get everything checked out? I doubt she’d qualify for welfare and my income is enough that we can pay for it if we have to, i just hurts lol
