Does Tricare cover a lactation consultant in San Diego?

What does a lactation consultation cost in San Diego without insurance?
In San Diego, private IBCLC rates typically run $150–$300+ for an initial home visit and $100–$200 for a telehealth session. However, most insurance plans cover IBCLC visits under the ACA preventive services mandate — meaning no cost to you. Always check coverage before paying out of pocket.
