Maternity coverage is one of the 10 essential health benefits that must be covered by all health insurance plans offered to individual person, families and a small group. Health insurance for pregnancy, labor, delivery, and newborn baby care

Pregnant women are covered for all care related to the pregnancy, delivery and any complications that may occur during pregnancy and up to 60 days postpartum. Pregnant women may also qualify for care that was received for their pregnancy before they applied and received the insurance.

A quote is an estimate of a premium for the insurance coverage you selected and information you entered. A quote is not an offer for insurance or an insurance contract. People offers online insurance quotes for Auto insurance, Home insurance, Renter's insurance, Condo insurance and Term Life insurance.

A quick auto insurance quote can be obtained via the internet. There are now many online companies that specialize in producing quick auto insurance for busy car owners which can save you both time and money. It is always effective to compare prices before you commit to a purchase, even when you are looking at coverage policy.

Human activities in the oceans increase the extinction risk of marine megafauna. Interventions require an understanding of movement patterns and the spatiotemporal overlap with threats. We analysed the movement patterns of 33 white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) satellite-tagged in South Africa between 2012 and 2014 to investigate the influence of size, sex and season on movement patterns and the spatial and temporal overlap with longline and gillnet fisheries and marine protected areas (MPAs). We used a hidden Markov model to identify 'resident' and 'transient' movement states and investigate the effect of covariates on the transition probabilities between states. A model with sex, total length and season had the most support. Tagged sharks were more likely to be in a resident state near the coast and a transient state away from the coast, while the probability of finding a shark in the transient state increased with size. White sharks moved across vast areas of the southwest Indian Ocean, emphasising the need for a regional management plan. White sharks overlapped with longline and gillnet fisheries within 25% of South Africa's Exclusive Economic Zone and spent 15% of their time exposed to these fisheries during the study period. The demersal shark longline fishery had the highest relative spatial and temporal overlap, followed by the pelagic longline fishery and the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) shark nets and drumlines. However, the KZN shark nets and drumlines reported the highest white shark catches, emphasising the need to combine shark movement and fishing effort with reliable catch records to assess risks to shark populations accurately. White shark exposure to shark nets and drumlines, by movement state, sex and maturity status, corresponded with the catch composition of the fishery, providing support for a meaningful exposure risk estimate. White sharks spent significantly more time in MPAs than expected by chance, likely due to increased prey abundance
