The likelihood that a neutron star will gravitationally lens its binary companion is strongly dependent upon the orbital inclination i on the plane of the sky, the semi-major axis a of the companion's orbit, and the compactness Rc of the neutron star and its vicinity. The parameter space for lensing events to occur is calculated and compared to the orbital parameters of 21 millisecond pulsar binary systems. Uncertainties in the constraints due to orbital inclination can be significantly reduced by measuring the pulse time delay as it passes near the companion.
