Virtual Lactation Consultant | Online IBCLC Visits — All 50 States

A virtual lactation consultation is a secure video appointment with one of Lactation Loop's 18 board-certified IBCLCs — the highest credential available in lactation care. You get the same expert support as an in-person visit, without leaving your home.

No matter where you live in the United States, we can see you. Our IBCLCs are available in English, Spanish, and Russian — and most families pay $0 out of pocket through insurance.

Is Virtual Really as Effective as In-Person?

Yes — and for many concerns, it's just as good or better. Your IBCLC can observe a live feeding in real time, see your actual nursing setup (your chair, your pillow, your pump), and give you advice that fits your real life — not a generic clinic setting. The only thing a virtual visit cannot do is a physical weighted feeding. For weight checks, we recommend an in-home visit.

Is It Covered by Insurance?

Most commercial insurance plans are required to cover lactation services under the Affordable Care Act — including virtual visits. Because our insurance contracts are national, your coverage travels with you regardless of which state you're in. Lactation Loop accepts Aetna, Cigna PPO, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), UMR PPO, Meritain, Anthem, Wildflower, Lactation Network, and Curative. Many families pay $0 out of pocket. Contact us before your first appointment and we'll help verify your benefits.
