Is pregnancy considered a pre-existing condition under Short Term Disability group coverage?
In my experience as an insurance agent the disability insurance policy I can offer specifically excludes pregnancy. Also, from what I have seen with other policies is that since pregnancy is planned, in most cases, it is not considered a disability. It is similar to being pregnant and not being able to be excepted if you apply for health insurance until after the pregnancy.
This may be true for policies sold direct. However, Short Term Disability policies sold as Voluntary Employee Benefits do provide the coverage you are asking about. * When bought preconception, Short Term Disability provides a six week benefit period for vaginal birth - less the elimination period, and an eight week benefit period for cesarean birth - less the elimination period.
You must buy these programs at work, but since you will be paying for the programs, it is very easy to ask your employer to make the option available.
