We are preferred partners with Unity Preferred Network, so you can submit our superbill to them directly for reimbursement (check the back of your insurance card for their logo).
If we are not in-network with your insurance we can provide you with a superbill to submit on your own for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Beginning January 1st, 2026…
If we are OUT OF NETWORK with your insurance plans at this time, we CAN submit your claim for you for a $20 fee (collected at the time of booking).
We will submit your claim, and see if your insurance company will pay. Insurers MAY pay the full amount, part of the amount, or none at all. Whatever is not covered by your insurance company, will be your responsibility and will be charged an out-of-pocket rate (see below) to an HSA, FSA, debit, or credit card that we hold on file at the time of booking.
If you prefer NOT to pay the $20 for us to submit your claim, we will charge the full amount up front for the consult, and provide you with a superbill that YOU can submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Out of pocket fees are as follows:
Phone consult: $45
Prenatal Telehealth: $150
Postpartum Telehealth: $160
Prenatal Office Visit: $150

Consult visits usually last 1.5 hours. We start with you telling me a little about your pregnancy and birth and the first days and weeks (or months) of your breastfeeding experience up to that point. Then we usually weigh the baby, latch the baby, then weigh again to see how much milk they consumed. I will watch the way baby gets onto the breast and offer suggestions to latch/positioning if it hurts your nipple or baby doesn’t seem comfortable/happy. I will also do an infant oral assessment and make referrals as needed. After we work on getting things right for both of you, we go over questions and concerns and I leave you with a written Plan of Care (which I fax to your doctors along with my Breastfeeding Assessment) and we stay in touch as much as needed via email/phone. You can also schedule a follow up appointment for a discounted fee if we need to see each other again. We can also save time for pumping questions and a breastshield fitting (to make sure your breastshield fits you well for pumping).
Allow baby to be hungry for the consultation time. You can feed them a small snack if they can’t wait, but just don’t give a FULL feeding within 1.5-2 hours of your appointment...otherwise they won't latch for us because they are full :(
Invite your favorite support person (your partner or mom/friend/doula) if desired.
Write down a list of questions you’d like addressed so we don't forget anything in the moment.
Have nearby any breastfeeding aids you’ve been using (nipple shield, nipple everter, supplemental nursing system, name/dosage of herbs or other medications, etc.).
A record of your last 1-2 days of feeding and diaper charting (if too sleep deprived, don’t worry about this one).

You might need a private lactation consultation if: you're in pain, your baby seems uncomfortable or has trouble latching, something feels “off,” your baby isn’t gaining weight well, your doctor suggested supplementing with formula, you or your baby have a medical issue, you have a history of breast surgery or injury, you suspect an over-supply or under-supply, you're going back to work, or you're pumping and not getting much milk or it’s hurting. A second set of experienced eyes can help get breastfeeding back on track. Let’s meet and make your breastfeeding experience satisfying!

An IBCLC, or Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, is the “Gold Standard” in lactation consulting. They have the most education and hands-on training. While CLCs and CLEs (certified lactation counselors and educators) can answer questions and provide support, an IBCLC has the expertise to handle more complex issues. Plus, with my IBCLC training and experience as a maternal-infant nurse, you get comprehensive care for both you and your baby!
