There is a forthcoming article in the Journal of Human Lactation entitled "Medicaid IBCLC Service Coverage following the Affordable Care Act and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Update" by Rachel A. Herold <http://jhl.sagepub.com/search?author1=Rachel+A.+Herold&sortspec=date&submit=Submit> and Karen Bonuck <http://jhl.sagepub.com/search?author1=Karen+Bonuck&sortspec=date&submit=Submit>. This provides a nice summary of the current landscape of Medicaid coverage for IBCLC services. USLCA has been working tirelessly on this issue and making some progress, slowly but surely. Members of USLCA have access to numerous documents advocating for this coverage. It is very important that those IBCLCs who are interested in Medicaid reimbursement join USLCA, as your membership fees allow the organization to work directly on securing Medicaid reimbursement for you. Donations to USLCA can be directed specifically to this endeavor. As Judy Gutowski mentioned in her great post, IBCLC reimbursement is quite possible in Medicaid managed care organizations. These are state specific, meaning that one must contact each of the entities in your own state on an individual basis. If anyone needs help in this please let me know.
