I signed up with Cinergy Health Insurance in 2008 when I found out I was pregnant. My husband and I are self employed and there is no health insurance out there that covers pregnancy for people like us. So when I found Cinergy, I was glad. They explained that they covered 80 percent of the entire pregnancy. It states in their FAQ that the plan covers 80% of the delivery according to the Medicare global maternity rate.
The global maternity rate includes pre-natal care, delivery, and post partum care. That next month I ended up miscarrying, which by the way is not covered. I had to have a dnc and ended up paying around 3000 dollars. A year or so later I got pregnant again, having my daughter on August 16, 2010. They paid close to 80 percent for the portion of my doctor, not including most of my sonograms and labs which I paid over 2000 dollars for. When I got my hospital bill, they only paid 2000 dollars of my 8556 dollar bill.
So not only do I owe the hospital over 6500 dollars, I also owe them for the anesthesiologist which was 1700 dollars. I would say I was completely misled by this insurance. I contacted the board of insurance and all they said was it was my word against theirs. What does that mean when it says it in their policy? I would not recommend this company. I just cancelled the policy after they started charging us 600 dollars a month for me, my husband, and daughter. But they don't pay for any of her vaccinations.
