One of the more frustrating problems breastfeeding moms run into is getting lactation support covered by insurance. So I was happy to see this new site from Medela aimed at helping you get breastfeeding support covered.
The site covers topics including:
- Coverage Questions You Should Ask
- Tips for Communicating with Your Insurance Company
- Filing an Insurance Claim
- Lactation Consultant Coverage
- Appealing an Insurance Claim
- Quick Coding Reference Guide
It still strikes me as a shame that the onus is on us to prove that breastfeeding support should be covered (and from reading the site it can be a lot of work), but this site is a good resource if that's what we have to do.
Have you been able to get breastfeeding support covered by you insurance company?
