Not Covered by These Insurance Plans?
You may still be eligible for lactation support through your insurance! Give your insurance provider a quick call beforehand to ask about out-of-network lactation benefits—many families are pleasantly surprised by what’s covered. Here’s how it works:
Schedule Your Session
Simply book your consultation—payment will be collected at the time of booking.
Receive Documentation
After your visit, we’ll send you a detailed super-bill
File for Reimbursement
Submit this receipt to your insurance company to see if they can reimburse you for part or all of your visit.
