You will be provided with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network lactation coverage (this is solely between you and your insurance company; I am not able to contact your insurance directly).
*Travel fee may apply for some zip codes. See below.
Do you accept insurance?
While I am not in-network with any insurance companies, I can accept your insurance if it is eligible for visits through the third-party billing companies I use: The Lactation Network and Wildflower.
If approved for insurance coverage, there will be a travel fee that applies to home visits (see below for more info).
Your plan needs to be approved on or before the day of our consultation (please allow 1-2 business days for your form to be processed).
What is The Lactation Network?
Empowered Breastfeeding is contracted with The Lactation Network to provide lactation services to eligible families. This will depend on your specific plan and coverage. The Lactation Network accepts many PPO plans, such as:
Blue Cross PPO
Blue Shield PPO
Anthem PPO
United Healthcare plans (*telehealth not included)
As well as many other plans that utilize MultiPlan and PNOA.
(Please note that PNOA and MultiPlan logos will appear alongside other payers on the medical insurance card like Aetna or UHC. If the card includes the PNOA or MultiPlan logos, you maybe eligible)
Please fill out this form to check your eligibility.
What is Wildflower?
Empowered Breastfeeding is contracted with Wildflower, which accepts most Cigna plans.

My house is messy and I am in my pajamas!
Good! I LOVE knowing you are getting rest and not concerning yourself with cleaning for me!
Grab some breakfast and water, get in your comfiest clothes, and leave the laundry piles on the floor - I am here for all of it!
