YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW
The National Women's Law Center has developed a toolkit called New Benefits for Breastfeeding Moms: Facts and Tools to Understand Your Coverage under the Health Care Law.
Breastfeeding support is considered preventative and by law is a covered, but every plan differs and you need to know your own benefits.
WHY HIRE AN IBCLC?
INTERNATIONAL BOARD CERTIFIED LACTATION CONSULTANT is an important distinction because it represents the only credentialed lactation professional. An IBCLC has received training, accrued hundreds of hours of clinical experience, and passed an exam to become a certified health professional.
PAYMENT & INSURANCE
I am in network with Aetna. The patient is responsible for any copays that Aetna determines. If Aetna determines patient responsibility, I will invoice you for that amount.
For all other insurance plans, I am considered an out-of-network allied health provider and you will pay me at the time of booking.
If you'd like to check your plan through BCBS PPO, Anthem BCBS PPO, Cigna PPO or United PPO, use Lactation Network online tool to assess your coverage naming me Catherine Belonogoff as your lactation consultant of choice. There are exceptions within these plans.
Self Pay Clients: Book me. Pay upfront and I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance. Check with your individual provider to determine reimbursement eligibility for lactation care.
If you aren't sure what's the best choice for you reach out.
