About Insurance Coverage
Breastfeeding education and support are included in the Preventive Service provision of the Affordable Care Act. This means lactation consultations and breastfeeding classes and support programs are to be covered by insurance companies with no copay costs to families. To determine your plan's coverage and preauthorization requirements contact the member services department at your Health Insurance plan.
I provide all clients with a Receipt which includes my National Provider Number, Tax Id and all other information required for insurance or healthcare spending account reimbursement. The National Women's Law Center has a Toolkit and other useful information regarding health insurance and breastfeeding.
