No
Visit limits:
No limit on medically necessary lactation visits during pregnancy and through 12 months postpartum (managed care plans); no prior authorization or referral

California details

Medi-Cal covers lactation consultant services, but IBCLCs and CLCs cannot enroll; a supervising licensed provider or clinic bills their services as a physician E/M visit. APL 26-005 (March 2026) bars managed care plans from requiring prior authorization or referrals and sets no cap on medically necessary lactation visits, in person, at home or by telehealth.
