Answer 5

Ask your Company's Employees Benefits Department for more details and procedures.

Review your KP Group insurance coverage booklet for detailed policy guidelines.

Answer 6

If you just married (within the last 30 days) you should be able to add her. If it's been longer than that, you will have to wait until Open Enrollment. Group insurance policies cannot consider pregnancy a pre-existing condition, by federal law.

Answer 7

Yes she can! I did that with mine and he got me on fairly quick. Talk to your human resources department. just had my daughter in march. Congratulations & Good luck.  

Answer 8

Since you have already been married, you will probably have to wait until open season to change your policy and add her.  Also, since she is already pregnant, it is likely that Kaiser will consider that a pre-existing condition and not cover her pregnancy.  Check with your HR department for eligibility and with your Kaiser Help Line for coverage of existing pregnancy.
