Pricing for maternity services

Qualcomm Premier Plan members have simplified pricing for maternity services. This was further expanded in 2021. Beginning January 1, 2021, there is a single overall charge, or bundled pricing, for routine pregnancies, inclusive of most prenatal care, delivery and postnatal care for a specified period of time. 


In addition, for those eligible for the maternity services bundle(1), once your deductible* has been met (due to maternity or non-maternity related services) for the year, subsequent maternity related services will be covered by the medical plan at 100%. Your annual out-of-pocket max would not apply.


Review the new bundled maternity pricing for more information.


(1) The bundle structure will apply to eligible moms whose primary coverage is under a Qualcomm Premier Plan at 13 weeks of pregnancy. For those who enroll in a Premier Plan past 13 weeks, or do not qualify for the expanded bundle due to certain high risk clinical conditions, the non-bundle standard delivery and routine OB care rates will apply. Does not apply to secondary coverage or when seeking care from out-of-network provider.


* For Premier Plan PPO members, applies to the applicable per person or per family deductible met first.
