INSURANCE COVERAGE WITH LACTATION NETWORK
We work with Lactation Network, an organization that helps parents get the breastfeeding support they deserve, covered by their insurance. Lactation Network is partnered with *some* insurance plans and guarantees three 90-minute lactation consultations, for clients who are pre-approved at no out-of-pocket cost to you (the patient/client). Lactation Network handles the paperwork and bills your insurance directly; our IBCLCs are not involved in the financial arrangements with your insurance provider. Pre-approval is needed for this type of coverage. In general, this does not work for Aetna, Tricare, TennCare, or Federal plans; see below for another option.

Parents paying out-of-pocket: We do not file claims with your insurance company. We will give you the forms necessary to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement of the cost of the consult; reimbursement is not guaranteed. See below for information on how to get your consultant "in network" with your insurance provider. You may also submit the forms to your health care spending account. An order is not needed for our office, though you will want one in order to file with your insurance. Usually, the order is obtained from baby's care provider or your OB/Midwife and is submitted for the nursing parent. This does not work for TennCare plans.
