New Hampshire Lactation Consulting
Connecting families with board certified lactation and infant feeding support
About Us
New Hampshire Lactation Consulting is a collaboration between Private Practice International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC's) in New Hampshire. A Private Practice IBCLC is a recognized healthcare professional who practices independently within the community, rather than at a hospital or doctors office. We are available to support families outside of a traditional medical setting, while still functioning as an integral member of the healthcare team. Our diverse experiences and heightened level of autonomy allow us to provide a more wholistic approach to care. Our passion is rooted in lactation but our expertise spans a much wider range of services. We recognize that each family has different feeding and childrearing goals, and we are here to help with whatever those goals may be.

WHAT IS TLN?
The Lactation Network, also known as TLN, is a durable medical supplier who provides billing services for Lactation Consultants. Lactation Consultants contracted with TLN are currently able to accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Cigna, Humana and some United PPO style plans, as well as subsidiaries of these plans, and also any card from any carrier with a PNOA or Multiplan logo. Coverage may be under either the lactating parent or the baby- it does not have to be both. Each IBCLC has a unique link for parents to use to apply for coverage. Please visit your IBCLCs website to locate their link.
If you are not insured by a TLN covered insurance plan know that you are still eligible for reimbursement for services rendered by an IBCLC.
You can read about the law governing health insurance coverage here.
All of our providers offer superbills for claim submission.
Not all lactation professionals are board certified providers. Lots are just helpers for when things are generally going well!
Unfortunately, anybody can call themselves a Lactation Consultant, so it is important to ask if they are board certified.
Why see an IBCLC, and not a different type of "Lactation Consultant" if you are having a problem? Click Here
