I know they don't cover Lactation Consultations and also they will not
cover a rental pump. They sent the client with a 28 week infant in the
NICU a pump in style. Not the pump I usually recommend for a new mom
trying to establish a milk supply.
If they are so supportive why don't they cover the essentials to help a
mother succeed when she is either seperated from her baby (NICU) or a
consult.
