Other Things to Think About
Prior to Birth
You should check to see what maternity coverage you have under your medical plan. You will want to know how much the plan will pay for your expenses, such as charges for delivery, hospital and doctor's charges.
If you have not selected a doctor, you should choose an obstetrician for the mother and a pediatrician for the baby.
You should contact the MMC Employee Service Center at 1-866-374-2662 to review the Short Term Disability and/or FMLA policy for your office.
Birth/Adoption
If your child does not have a Social Security Number, you should call your local Social Security Administration office for an application. The law requires that all children have a Social Security Number by the age of two.
