I’m proud to partner with The Lactation Network! This is an incredible organization that helps parents get the breastfeeding support they deserve, covered by their insurance.

BCBS PPO, Anthem PPO. Cigna, Aetna and UHC MultiPlan- check  for  this logo on your insurance card (baby or parent coverage): The Lactation Network guarantees every mother 6, in-home lactation consultations with a registered IBCLC, like me, at no out of pocket cost. This includes either office visits, in home visits or virtual (telehealth visits). They handle the paperwork and bill your insurance directly.

HOW IT WORKS

Please read the below information carefully. I offer quite a few services and you want to be sure you choose the correct one for your needs.

In- network claims:  If you have been approved by Lactation Network, your are eligible for 6 consultations which are  covered 100%.  This means no out- of -pocket expense for you.  Pre-approval must be obtained through Lactation Network  Once approved, you can choose between:

  1.       Home Visit
  2.       Virtual Visit

 

Out-of-network claims:  If your insurance company is not listed above, I will take payment directly from you.  HSA/FSA cards, credit cards, check, cash, paypal and Venmo are all accepted.  You will be emailed a paid receipt  to submit for reimbursement.   Most insurance companies are now reimbursing for lactation consultations.  Schedule your consult by choosing:

  1.       Home Visit
  2.       Virtual Consult

 

Please note:  For The Lactation Network clients:  A fee of $60.00 for each home visit will be charged if the roundtrip to and from your home to  my office is less than 50 miles.  This travel fee is not covered by insurance and is due at the time of your home visit.  You can pay by cash, check or Venmo.
