health insurance...confused

Me and DH are on the same health ins. My mom had told me that when the baby is born we just add the baby bc it is already a family plan. she said on family plans you can have 10 kids and its the same pice as having 3 kids...is this true?

Are you sure you have a family plan not just 2 adult plan? It seems like a family plan (before having the acutal family) would be much more expensive.

Not with MDNY. When we added the kids we had to move from the policy holder & spouce plan to a family plan. With that we can add the kids at no extra fee.

Aetna. It's the company's policy (the amt. they make us pay) that's crappy.
