New Delhi, Aug. 25 -- Applying for maternity leave and claiming maternity health insurance are separate processes, so the documents required for each can differ. A maternity leave request generally needs details such as the expected delivery date, proposed leave dates, and any documents required by the employer. A health insurance claim may require the policy document, claim form, medical records, bills, prescriptions, and payment receipts, depending on the policy and claim type. Checking the employer's HR process and the insurer's claim requirements in advance can make both processes easier to manage.
