​
Will my insurance cover your services?
  • We are in network with BCBS, Aetna, and MODA. We routinely bill Providence, Cigna, and others out of network. Please let us know if you need help verifying your benefits. 
  • We may be able to bill other payers on a case-by-case basis. With out-of-network coverage there is no guarantee of payment. 
  • For self-pay clients we send an invoice after your visit set due within 30 days, or you can pay at time of service.

We fully acknowledge that lactation services can often be an unexpected yet much needed expense, and should not be a luxury or cost-prohibitive service. We will work with you to provide a flexible payment plan if
needed-please don’t hesitate to ask about this.
