For other insurances, payment is due at the time of service. You will be given a bill that you can submit for possible reimbursement. Insurance companies are supposed to cover Lactation Consultant services (with an IBCLC) according to the Affordable Care Act. You can call your insurance carrier to request pre-authorization. If they tell you I am not in network, you can request a "gap exception" or an expedited "in for out request”.
No charge for phone calls.
