What to do if you're pregnant?

What to do if you're pregnant?

Congratulations!  We are super excited for you.

As a Sedera Member, here is what you need to do:
  1. Obtain medical care as soon as you suspect you are pregnant.
  2. Communicate with your provider that you are a cash pay patient.
  3. Request a global fee agreement on your clinic/hospital/doctor’s letterhead, including any time constraints related to payment. You should expect at least two bills from your hospital: one for your physician and one for the delivery facility.
  4. Ask if there are any costs that you can expect with a normal pregnancy that are not included in the global fee.
  5. Open a Need via the Sedera’s web-based app (member.sedera.com). We also recommend booking a call with your personal Needs Coordinator once you receive the introductory email, so you can get answers to any remaining questions and help during the Needs process.
  6. Send the global fee arrangement letter to Sedera.
  7. Have your baby!
  8. If you incur any additional bills related to your pregnancy, you can attach them to your open Needs case via the Sedera’s web-based app (member.sedera.com). Make sure the bills you are submitting are itemized. i.e.: listing the specific treatment and/or procedures.

Important things to note:
If you add your baby to your membership, the care related to your baby's post-birth will also be eligible for sharing. These expenses will be handled under a separate Needs case opened as your baby’s
membership. As a reminder, your IUA for your maternity Needs case will be $5,000.  Please be aware that if you became pregnant before your membership with Sedera began, sharing for your pregnancy is substantially limited or not available.
