Without this service I wouldn’t have been able to breastfeed for as long as I did! Very sad that it’s not covered anymore

jeslynn supported: Restore Breastfeeding Support Coverage for Families with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Mississ

I wouldn’t have had success breastfeeding my baby without lactation consultant services, nor would I have caught a clogged milk duct that could have resulted in serious illness. Breastfeeding and overall lactation care is crucial health care.

Lynn supported: Restore Breastfeeding Support Coverage for Families with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Mississ

This is affecting so many Mississippi families. Most teachers firemen and police officers have Blue Cross Blue Shield as insurance. Blue Cross Blue Shield does not cover out of Hospital lactation services. It may not seem like a huge deal but most in Hospital lactation Consultants don't have the vast knowledge pass day four or five after baby is born. As a international board certified lactation consultant I deal with extremely complex issues with moms and or babies. I also take the time to spend over 90 minutes watching a baby feed and and helping with any major difficulties the baby or mom is having. This also has affected my business. 80% of my clientele with Blue Cross Blue shield. And without them paying for visits I will potentially have to close my doors.

Maranda supported: Restore Breastfeeding Support Coverage for Families with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Mississ

To the decision makers at BCBS, I urge you to reconsider coverage for lactation support. Lactation support in the hospital is simply not enough to have a successful breastfeeding journey for most moms. If none of you have breastfed before, I know it’s hard to understand why would we need this care but, trust me, as a professional engineer mom, who overanalyzes every purchase, this is one I’d make without question. My daughter was having issues with her lips turning blue while nursing and my LC was able to identify a lip tie that no one in the hospital saw. I was super fortunate to have this service. This is the most vulnerable time in a woman’s life and we need all the help we can get.
