I've seen some links on Facebook referring to the new regulations for women's health preventative care coverage.

Can someone with more insurance background help me understand what this really means for the average mom? I'm sure I'm going to get some questions at my LLL meeting this week. Does it just means that lactation services are covered in conjunction with hospital birth services? Or does it mean that LC services and pump rentals will be covered by insurance at any time? What are the implications of that for private practice LCs?

Thanks for any background you can provide.
