More Information on Insurance Reimbursement
Lactation care is a covered benefit—legally mandated by the Affordable Care Act.
If you are a private pay patient, you’ll receive a Superbill to submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. While coverage varies by plan, most insurance companies do reimburse for lactation services partially or fully IF your insurance plan is under the Affordable Care Act.
I encourage you to contact your insurance provider directly to understand what your specific plan includes.
You have the right to expert feeding support for both you and your baby. Don’t hesitate to advocate for the care you deserve.
Invest in the support you and your baby deserve.
