PAYMENTS, FEES, INSURANCE


INSURANCE COVERAGE WITH LACTATION NETWORK 
Leah and Kate work with Lactation Network, an organization that helps parents get the breastfeeding support they deserve, covered by their insurance. Lactation Network is partnered with *some* insurance plans and guarantees three  90-minute lactation consultations, for clients who are pre-approved at no out-of-pocket cost to you (the patient/client). Lactation Network handles the paperwork and bills your insurance directly; our IBCLCs are not involved in the financial arrangements with your insurance provider. Pre-approval is needed for coverage.

GET QUICKLY PRE-APPROVED with Lactation Network
STEP 1: Speak with the IBCLC you will be seeing and get that appointment tentatively planned FIRST. 
STEP 2: Visit ​www.lactationnetwork.com​ and use "Leah K. Brown" or “Kate Cropp” as the IBCLC who referred you. 
STEP 3: You (and Leah or Kate) will receive an email confirming your coverage within a few hours.
STEP 4: Email your IBCLC to schedule your appointment. 

OUT-OF-POCKET FEES (subject to change)
Initial office consultation $150
Initial in-home consultation $150*
​Twin home/office consultation $200*
Initial telehealth consultation $150

Follow-up office visits $100* based on severity of the needs
Prenatal Adoptive/Induced consults $125*
Bottle/Pump/Solid Foods Consults $100*
(*travel fee may apply based on your home location)

OUT-OF-POCKET PAYMENT & INSURANCE
Parents paying out-of-pocket: We do not file claims with your insurance company. We will give you the forms necessary to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement of the cost of the consult; reimbursement is not guaranteed. See below for information on how to get your consultant(s) "in network" with your insurance provider. You may also submit the forms to your health care spending account. Please bring your OB/MW and baby's care provider's phone and fax numbers. An order is not needed for our office, though you will want one in order to file with your insurance. Usually, the order is obtained from baby's care provider or your OB/Midwife and is submitted under nursing parent.
