About the Tricare Childbirth and Breastfeeding Support Demonstration

Good news! TRICARE now covers doula and lactation services for eligible Prime and Select beneficiaries. This means you can get support from a certified labor doula and IBCLC during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Birth and Milk is TRICARE-authorized for both services.

Here's what you need to know:

  • Eligibility: You must be at least 20 weeks pregnant to receive doula services and 27 weeks pregnant to receive lactation services, receiving care from a TRICARE-authorized provider and NOT planning to give birth at a Military Treatment Facility

  • Coverage:

    • Up to six hours of prenatal or postpartum visits with your doula

    • Continuous labor support during birth.

    • Up to six visits with an IBCLC to help you meet your breastfeeding goals

  • Costs: No out of pocket cost to you!

Learn more: Visit the TRICARE website (https://www.tricare.mil/Plans/SpecialPrograms/CBSD) or contact your regional contractor.

This new benefit helps military families access crucial support for a more positive childbirth experience.
