Policies for Clients With Tricare Insurance
Billing Policy
We will submit a claim to Tricare for your lactation services. While we make every effort to pre-verify your benefits, verification is not a guarantee of coverage or payment.
You are responsible for understanding and confirming your own lactation benefits, including whether the provider you choose is authorized under your plan and whether any restrictions, limitations, or visit caps apply.
Please note that we do expect there may be out-of-pocket costs associated with your care. Exact costs will be provided once your benefits have been verified.
If your policy applies a copay, coinsurance, or deductible, you are responsible for those charges. Any applicable copay will be billed within 24 hours of service. We are legally required to bill patients for these amounts.
Tricare policies allow a maximum of 6 covered lactation visits. Once this limit has been reached, any additional visits will be considered out-of-pocket.
Hospital lactation visits often count toward your 6-visit maximum. If you received lactation support in the hospital, you may have fewer covered outpatient visits remaining.
