TRICARE is now covering the cost of breast pumps and lactation counseling services for new mother beneficiaries. This also includes mothers who adopt an infant and plan to breast feed.
The breastfeeding benefit is considered to be preventive in nature so there is no cost or copayment for a manual or standard electric breast pump as well as the supplies such as power adapters, storage bags and special bottles. Lactation counseling is also free of charge, up to six sessions, with a TRICARE- approved provider.
