Bill > A03980

This bill requires insurance coverage for lactation consultant services by professionally certified counselors who evaluate and manage lactation and infant feeding problems and provide preventative clinical consulting to prevent or minimize the occurrence of potential problems. The bill amends the insurance law to mandate coverage for outpatient lactation consultant services under policies that provide coverage for hospital, surgical, or medical care. It defines a "lactation consultant" as a professionally certified counselor who performs these services.
