I do work with some insurances for coverage of lactation support. Some insurances I work with include Aetna PPO, Blue Cross PPO and Cigna PPO. Convenience fees apply.

I offer both virtual and in home appointments. All services include 2 week follow up support via HIPAA compliant text or email. Virtual services are via a HIPAA compliant platform. ​

​
I am now an in-network provider with Aetna (excluding HMO and QPOS plans). Please verify that you have lactation coverage and contact me to set up a lactation visit. Convenience fees apply.
​
If your insurance is not covered, I can help guide you through submitting for reimbursement of lactation fees through your insurance. It is not guaranteed that your insurance will provide reimbursement, but I do have helpful tools for you to advocate for this service to be covered.
