3am questions

Questions we hear a lot

Straight answers. Not medical advice.

Does insurance cover a lactation consultant?

Under the Affordable Care Act, most health plans must cover breastfeeding support and counseling with no copay. Who's in network varies, so call your plan and ask about lactation services before you book. Medicaid coverage depends on your state.

What's the difference between an IBCLC and a lactation counselor?

An IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) has passed the field's board exam after supervised clinical hours, and handles harder feeding problems. Counselors and educators have shorter training and are great for everyday questions. You can look up any IBCLC in the IBLCE public registry.

Is Early Intervention really free?

Every state runs an Early Intervention program for babies and toddlers up to age 3. The evaluation is free, and you can ask for one yourself. Services are free or on a sliding scale, depending on your state.

Does insurance pay for a doula?

Some state Medicaid programs now cover doula care, and some private plans reimburse it. Ask the doula and your plan before you book.

Where do your listings come from?

From the federal NPI registry, where health providers record their specialty and where they practice, and must keep it current. Credentials appear as each provider lists them. How we list practices

I'm a provider. How do I get listed?

Listing is free. If you have an NPI for lactation, doula, midwifery or pediatric therapy work, you may already be here, so search your city first. Then claim your page to fix details or add the help you offer.

You don't have to figure this out alone.

Search by city or ZIP. It's free.
