Most major insurance plans are accepted

Does Insurance Cover my Lactation Consult & Classes?

…and more.

In most cases, YES!

In 2010 the Affordable Care Act was passed, requiring that all “new insurance plans must provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment for the duration of breastfeeding. These services may be provided before and after birth.” There are very few plans that were grandfathered in and are exempt from this.

This is great news! Click the button below to enter some information and one of our team members will contact you regarding your insurance coverage as soon as possible (usually within an hour during business hours)

Let’s see if we can get your visits covered!

In-person Consult |

From the comfort of your own home, a consultant will address all of your breastfeeding and pumping questions or concerns. These visits usually last up to 90 minutes and allow us to go through a full feeding session including latching, bottle feeding, and pumping together. Your consultant will bring a special scale that allows up to weigh your baby before and after feeding to see how much milk your baby drinks from the breast. Each visit includes ongoing follow-up communication and support to monitor progress.

Virtual Consult |

Your consultant is specially trained in effective virtual consults. She is able to assist with all of your breastfeeding and pumping questions or concerns via a healthcare secure video portal. These visits usually last up to 60 minutes and allow us to complete a full feeding together including latching, bottle feeding and pumping. Each visit includes ongoing follow-up communication and support to monitor progress.

 

Breastfeeding help.

When your baby doesn’t latch on well it can be very painful. I can help you get a deep latch that will make breastfeeding more comfortable. I provide other tips and tricks for making the latching process go smoother.

Increasing milk supply and pumping help.

Not having enough breast milk for your baby is heartbreaking. I’ll show you simple ways to increase your breast milk supply and maintain it. I will share pumping tips and tricks with you to help you use your breast pump more effectively.

 

Prenatal breastfeeding classes & education.

Our lactation consultants tailor this hour and a half education session to you and your feeding goals. There is so much to think about when you are pregnant, and knowing how to breastfeed your baby once she arrives can be a huge worry.  The Thrive Lactation Center breastfeeding class will teach you what you need to know to latch your baby and breastfeed successfully right after birth.
