He did all the birth certificate and insurance stuff at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122548 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:36:37 +0000 Andrea 122548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think all DH had to do was email his HR lady so he could have done it from the hospital but he probably waited until he went back to work 3 days after the birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122545 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:35:02 +0000 mediagirl 122545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: @His Barista: @BabyBoecksMom: @Clementine: @crash806: Great, thank you. Sounds like the consensus is we don't have to do it the minute she's out of my uterus, but we do have to let them know sooner rather than later. I'll make sure we do it within a week, that will make us both feel more comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122219 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 11:10:40 +0000 lavender 122219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 30 days to enroll her. I waited until I got her SSN so I could fill out a new enrollment form. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122201 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:48:29 +0000 Clementine 122201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as Bree72, probably 2-3 days after we gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122194 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:33:28 +0000 BSB 122194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @BabyBoecksMom: and @His Barista: That's what my HR told me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122188 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:23:55 +0000 His Barista 122188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has to be done within the first 30 days or they have no coverage. So I called the Fay after we went home. She was 2 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122187 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:23:16 +0000 tequiero21 122187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We added them within 2 weeks of birth. We were deciding whether to change our ins plan...which we did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122176 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:06:39 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 122176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told that it has to be done within the first 30 days, otherwise you'll have to wait until the next enrollment period to add a dependent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122175 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 10:06:01 +0000 BananaPancakes 122175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called mine the other day to verify since my hospital acted like it was vital I called immediatley. They told me as long as its done within 30 days, I'm fine. I'll probably call the first week we get home, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122167 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:54:30 +0000 chopsuey 122167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We called the insurance company when we got home from the hospital.. so 2-3 days after she was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-inform-your-insurance-of-your-newborn#post-122166 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:54:21 +0000 heffalump 122166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know, my husband took care of that.
