The struggle is real with insurance. The struggle is so very challenging for lactation coverage and insurance! I’ve tried for months as an RN-IBCLC to get in network with BCBS-GA and they won’t recognize my credentials. It’s a struggle and a shame that so many moms aren’t able to get the support they want and deserve related to breastfeeding!

I encourage you to file your superbills and reach out to our state representatives and your BCBS plan to let them know how valuable lactation coverage truly is!!

Three weeks after a medical biller announced it would no longer be working with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi, moms in the state face out-of-pocket costs of over $100 per session for breastfeeding help – and are calling on lawmakers and the state’s largest private insurer to step up.

Next week, come see me and other wonderful birth workers at the Peach State Birth Expo.

I am on the speaker panel to talk about Breast-feeding, of course!

I also have an exclusive discount code for my prenatal breastfeeding class that you can only get if you attend!

So many other raffles, goodies, vendors and speakers will be there!

For moms and moms to be!

Share with your friends and I can’t wait to see you there!
