Winnie noted that insurance companies may be leading the way in terms of
being supportive of breastfeeding employees. And then wondered if they also
reimburse for LC services, pumps, etc. I am the one who had posted about my
insurance company employer being supportive of my breastfeeding and I will
also say that same company (WAY BACK in the spring of 1995) did in fact
reimburse for LC home visits. I think the key is that the LC who helped me
gave me a bill which included the necessary ICD-9 codes to file a claim on
my son. I was insured through a PPO at the time. I was given a manual pump
by postpartum nurses after my last delivery (May, 2000) and it was also paid
for. I still haven't opened the package but that is another story. (The one
about how not all breastfeeding mothers need pumps.)
