– 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.

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.
