Will my insurance cover this prenatal lactation consult?

These visits are covered in the same way as an office visit. Lactation (milk making and taking) visits are covered throughout the whole time that your pregnant or your baby is taking milk from the breast or bottle and while mom is pregnant and preparing to feed baby in any way. Pump supplies are also a covered benefit. Julee can refer and guide you to select your pump.
