Is prenatal care paid out of pocket or covered by medical insurance?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I found out that I'm pregnant and plan to go to the hospital in a couple of days for a prenatal check-up. Hello, is the prenatal check-up covered by public funds or medical insurance?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you are pregnant, you can have your first thorough check-up in the obstetrics department starting from the 7th week after your last menstrual period. The main procedures include an ultrasound examination and tests for hormone levels. Obstetric check-ups are conducted in outpatient clinics and are covered by public funds. For outpatient check-up fees exceeding 1200 yuan, partial prepayment may be required. Outpatient clinics accept medical insurance cards for payment.
