​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Breastfeeding

Our goal is to help you make breastfeeding a success. Although it is a natural process, breastfeeding doesn't always come easy. New and experienced moms often have questions about breastfeeding and need support to successfully breastfeed.

Our Breastfeeding Clinic offers the assistance a new mother needs to make breastfeeding a success. Our board-certified lactation consultants are available to work with you before delivery, while you are in the hospital and also at home to help you become comfortable and enjoy a positive breastfeeding experience.

Consultations

Our lactation consultants are available to answer questions or discuss concerns about breastfeeding by phone and during one-on-one appointments or group discussion. To speak with our lactation consultants by phone, call 706-50​9-6548.

Most commercial insurance companies will pay 100% of the cost of an in-person lactation consultation with no deductibles or co-pays. There is generally no coverage limit on the number of visits, so moms can receive guidance as many times as needed.

The Atrium Health Floyd Women's Care Lactation Services office will file the necessary paperwork with commercial insurance companies for moms to receive this service.

Some insurance companies provide breast pumps for new moms at no cost or minimal cost. Most insurance companies require a prescription from an OB/GYN. 

How to Receive Your Pump

  1. Call your insurance company to see if it will cover a breast pump. Ask if the company requires a prescription from your physician. If so, ask your OB/GYN for the breast pump prescription form. 
  2. Bring your prescription, if required, and your insurance card to the ​Atrium Health Floyd Women's Care ​Lactation Services to pick up your pump.

Each insurance plan is unique, and your specific benefits and eligibility must be verified. Verification does not guarantee payment by the insurance company. ​
