Why Do You Need The International Newborn Care Plan®

Health care costs are different in the United States than other countries around the world. The United States health care system is principally funded through private insurance. Reciprocity between countries which both have socialized health care does not occur in the United States. Therefore, coverage you may have on you or your family will not apply to your newborn in the United States.

Here are good explanations of why you need the International Newborn Care coverage:


1. Higher risk on IVF newborn.

Claims for babies born through Surrogacy or IVF pregnancies have a 30% higher claims risk ratio. This plan Offers confidence and peace of mind if International clients that have complications with their newborn in a US hospital.

2. International Intended Parent(s) must show proof of insurance at US Hospital.
Most US Hospitals mandate insurance or a large deposit being in place for international clients having their babies born through surrogacy prior to surrogate admittance to the hospital. With our plan all you have to do is show your New Life Insurance card to verify benefits at birth.

3. Potential financial risks.
Starting a family is a monumental decision. When starting a family involves assisted reproduction, there are going to be risks greater than those faced by other parents. These include potential financial risks from complications resulting in large claims for your newborn.

No responsible parent sets out on the course of bringing a new life into the world and of loving that child and rearing that child to healthy adulthood without taking steps to reduce those risks. No responsible parent brings a new life into the world without insurance.

New Life Agency specializes in mitigating this kind of risk for the eventualities that could jeopardize the well being of yourself and your family.

4. Paying claims during your stay in the United States and after you have returned home is difficult to manage.

Claims processing may take several months to adjudicate. All claims will be managed through your Claims Fund Account. Neither you nor your Surrogate will ever pay claims directly on your newborn. An explanation of benifits with claims detail is issued every time a claim is paid from your Claims fund Account and is available upon your request.

5. Claims are aggressively discounted through our Third party administrator.

The claims administrator duty is to achieve the highest negotiated rates to reduce your liability when complications arise.

6. Refund of Premiums.
If loss occurs any time during pregnancy or stillborn and no claims have occurred a FULL refund of premium is issued less a $750.00 Broker/ Administration Fee.

7. Large network of medical providers.
The network accesses one of the largest PPO provider networks of medical care providers in the nation; offering cost savings based on agreed contracted network service provider rates.
