Insurance Covered Lactation Care
The Affordable Care Act has written provisions ensuring lactation care is covered by health insurance. Unfortunately, this execution is extremely variable depending on your specific plan details. Below are the insurance companies working with Little Bear Lactation to improve access to care. If your plan is not listed, you will need to self-pay for your consult, but I will provide you with a superbill which you can use to advocate for full or partial reimbursement with your insurance company.
