Healthy After Delivery: A Case Study

Satisfactory Essays

Medicaid and Commercial insurance plans require that newborns be enrolled in insurance within 30-31 days from a date of birth. Currently, the nonmember policy states that for non-member Medicaid newborns there is the option of being treated at KP for the first 60 days of life. I would make a guess that the same policy would apply for uninsured and commercial insured non-members. It is my understanding that if the baby is healthy after delivery, their care would be transitioned to a non- KP provider. However, if the baby is uninsured or has commercial insurance and has a condition that could be detrimental to their health if transitioned immediately after birth, they would then be eligible to schedule a future appointment past 60 days.
