I received this e-mail request for supporting documentation to inculde with a proposal for insurance reimbursement for lactation services. He has given me permission to post to Lactnet. It told him that lactation services are covered by insurance in other parts of the country. By forwarding hia message to the list, he may get replies from others who have used successful strategies to secure coverage. Please reply directly to him.

Sapp, MPH To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 3:31 PM Subject: Breastfeeding support data I write to ask if you are aware of data that supports the need for insurance coverage of postpartum lactation support. Here in the Capital Region, the Prenatal Care Assistance Programs (PCAP) and Medicaid Obstetrical Maternal Services (MOMS) programs are interested in writing a position paper in support of such coverage, and are requesting any information or leads that you may have relative to what other groups or organizations have used for similar purposes. Any information that you can provide is very much appreciated. Thanks for attention to my request! Kelvin S.
