After our visit, I will give you a superbill (a list of all services provided) that has all the information your insurance company needs to start the process. Every company's process is different. I suggest calling the member service number on the back of your card. Companies like Reimbursify or Better Claims are also available to help you seek reimbursement.

Sure! It can be complicated in that every plan works differently. However, “Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance plans MUST cover breastfeeding supports and supplies as a preventive benefit without imposing cost-sharing, such as deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance…” The best way to know is to call the member services number on the back of your insurance ID card and ask whether they will reimburse you for lactation services by an out-of-network provider.

I wish! Unfortunately in Ohio, lactation services are not covered by Medicaid or any of the managed care plans. I do offer 50% off all lactation services with proof of coverage.

Infant feeding specialists are medical professionals who provide guidance and education to parents about the best ways to feed their babies. They cover a range of topics from how often babies should be breastfed, to the introduction of solids. Infant feeding specialists have a deep understanding of both nutrition and infant development, allowing them to provide tailored advice that meets the specific needs and goals for each baby’s health. Infant feeding specialists aim to empower parents with knowledge so they can feel empowered and confident throughout their child's feeding journey—relying on expertise rather than making decisions based on guesswork or popular opinion. From properly positioning a baby during breastfeeding sessions to understanding the current research on bottle-feeding safety-- Infant Feeding Specialists are an invaluable resource for any new parent seeking support around this critical aspect of their baby’s growth and development.

The number of sessions required will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some parents may only require one session, while others may benefit from multiple sessions over a period of weeks or months. Your lactation consultant or infant feeding therapist can work with you to determine a plan that works best for you and your baby.

Before your session, it can be helpful to write down any questions or concerns you have about breastfeeding or infant feeding. You may also want to bring any breastfeeding supplies, such as a breast pump, that you are currently using. For infant feeding therapy sessions, you may be asked to bring in any bottles or feeding equipment you are currently using with your baby.
