I am very disheartened to share that South Mississippi Breastfeeding Services will no longer be able to accept Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. This decision affects a large majority (about 75%) of the families we serve. This is the result of a decision made between The Lactation Network and BCBS.
Reimbursements from BCBS were a huge portion of our funding as a private practice.
That aside, I am heart broken to know that lack of coverage for these moms will become a barrier for lactation support. I will continue to offer cash discounts for private pay for those not covered.
I am hopeful that BCBS and TLN will continue to work toward a mutual agreement in the future so that moms will have access to the care and support they deserve.
Thank you for your support and allowing me to be part of your breastfeeding journey.
With love,
Laken Miller, FNP, IBCLC
