[ID] 181 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Health Professional Organization Lactation Professional Nonprofit Organization [Comment] Lactation support for all new mothers is critical for increasing and sustaining breastfeeding. However, there are way too many barriers for non-profit (hospital birthing units) to be able to provide this support since we cannot get reimbursed for the cost of providing this service. Billing is tied to medical reasons and seeing a physician. Lactation services need to be supported for ALL MOMS, not just those infants having medical issues. It makes no sense , nor is it cost effective to mandate a pediatrician visit when what they need is a lactation consult. [Topic]
