You should contact your healthcare company at least 48 hours before all scheduled hospital admissions. You should also contact your healthcare company if a maternity stay will exceed 48 hours for the mother and/or newborn child following a vaginal delivery, or 96 hours for the mother and/or newborn child following a cesarean section delivery.

To provide notification, please contact your healthcare company at the number on the back of your ID card. You will not be penalized under the Plan if you do not notify the healthcare company.
