Summary

The proposed policy changes amend the licensing requirements for lactation consultants. Current OHCA policy requires that lactation consultants be both an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a registered nurse or registered dietician. The proposed revisions remove the requirement that lactation consultants be a registered nurse or registered dietician as a condition of coverage. Providers will only be required to be an IBCLC to contract with OHCA and be reimbursed for lactation consultant services. Lactation consultant services must be recommended by a physician or other licensed provider, such as a physician assistant, advanced practice registered nurse, certified nurse midwife, or licensed midwife. There is no change to reimbursement rates for lactation consultants.
