Insurance & Coverage

Is Lactation Consulting Covered by Insurance?

Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans are required to cover breastfeeding support. We make it simple to find out what you qualify for.

The Basics

Many families pay little to nothing out of pocket

The Affordable Care Act requires most health plans to cover breastfeeding counseling and support for the duration of breastfeeding. Coverage varies by plan, so we help you verify your specific benefits before your appointment.

Not sure where to start? Give us a call at 423-403-4747 and we’ll walk you through it.

What may be covered

  • Prenatal breastfeeding preparation
  • One-on-one lactation consultations
  • In-home and virtual visits
  • Follow-up support sessions
  • Feeding plans and latch assessments
  • Guidance on pumping and milk supply
