Will pelvic floor PT help with postpartum leaking?

Does insurance cover postpartum pelvic floor PT?

Many insurance plans cover physical therapy, including pelvic floor PT. Coverage depends on your specific plan and diagnosis code. Ask your PT about billing codes for postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction.
