The Lactation Network - 3x3x3 Challenge With Kim Kozeny

The Lactation Network connects families to insurance-covered lactation care at home or virtually, improving health outcomes and employee retention while reducing claims costs for self-funded employers.

Transcript:

What is The Lactation Network?

The Lactation Network is the largest network of international board certified lactation consultants in the United States. We see thousands of patients each month with in-home, in-person, and virtual visits available across all 50 states.

How is The Lactation Network different?

From a patient lens, The Lactation Network makes it easy to find insurance covered care that meets the unique needs of every patient. Given the nature and nuance of prenatal and postpartum care, the vast majority of our patients choose to be seen from the comfort of their own homes, which as you can imagine, is where care is easiest to access for new parents, especially during those first few weeks postpartum. Outside of TLN, that care can be challenging in today's health plan network landscape, which is why 97% of our patients would refer us to a family member or friend. And for employers, because this care is mandated to be covered under the Affordable Care Act, The Lactation Network ensures that employers are offering choice and flexibility within their health plan networks to deliver best in class care to families during a really exciting, often stressful time. We make it seamless and administratively hassle-free for our employer partners to ensure their existing health plan offerings cover this care.

Who is a good fit for The Lactation Network?

Self-funded employer groups focused on continuing to deliver patient first and outcome centered maternal and infant health benefits. We know that breastfeeding provides many health benefits to both mom and baby, and further, it contributes considerably to employee retention. 93% of TLN's patients return to work after taking leave compared to the national average of just 59%, and it also bolsters long and short-term impacts on patient claims costs, including infant respiratory conditions, asthma and allergies, maternal postpartum mood disorders, and certain types of cancer, including those of the breasts, ovaries, and uterus.
