– To know if your insurance will cover either full or partial reimbursement for a lactation consult, you can call their customer service before our appointment.
* I will attempt to pre-verify your benefits with Aetna and Tricare, but I cannot guarantee coverage or benefits. You are responsible for knowing and confirming your own lactation benefits and confirming that I am in-network provider on your specific plan and if there are any restrictions or limitations to your benefits.
If your policy applies a co-pay, co-insurance or deductible, you will be responsible for paying these charges. I am legally obligated to bill you for these charges. Some Aetna plans require a referral or precertification. I recommend you check with Aetna to see if this applies to you. If your claim is denied by Aetna because the services require a referral or precertification and it was not obtained prior to our visit, you will be responsible for paying these services out of pocket.

– My service area includes: Oceanside, Camp Pendleton, Fallbrook, Carlsbad, Bonsall, Vista, San Marcos, and Encinitas ( all within a 20 mile radius)
– Other areas I will visit outside of my service area include: Temecula, Poway, Del Mar, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Murrieta, and Miramar and others! I do have a surcharge ($75) for traveling to these cities (which would be anything outside of my 20 mile radius).
– Virtual and Phone Appointments are also available wherever you are!
-YES!
-Before booking send me a message or call about discounts.
– Virtual appointments ( Telehealth) are an option when you live to far for me to come see you. They are great for asking questions about breastfeeding and lactation. Whether its a prenatal visit, pumping consult, or feeding concerns, video chat is a way for us to connect.
Virtual appointments have more convent times such as weekends and nights available upon request.
Since I cannot physically exam you or your baby that does limit what I can do. But Telehealth can be a valuable resource!
I use a HIPPA secure platform for all virtual appointments. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
