OUT-OF-NETWORK SERVICES

While insurance companies often put a limit to visits, and with each breastfeeding journey being so unique, it is important to me to continuously work with families until their goals are met. I have diligently sought ways to extend assistance to families requiring cost effective services. I am an out-of-network provider, allowing you to see me and seek reimbursement through insurance via a superbill. Services are paid up front and you are responsible for submitting the provided superbill with details of your consultation to your insurance carrier.

My Out-of-Network Policy

Before Booking :

Verify with your insurance policy prior to booking to determine your coverage for lactation services. Depending on your policy, you may be eligible for partial or full reimbursement.

Deposit :

I require a 50% deposit at the time of booking, and collect the remaining payment at your appointment.

In-Home Visits :

I would love to meet you in the comfort of your own home, however, if the travels are over a 25 mile radius from Coram, NY there is a travel fee.

Cancellations :

Once you have booked an appointment, it means I have reserved a time in my schedule just for you. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may occur. I require a 24 hour cancellation notification for a return of deposit. After this window, the deposit will not be returned to you.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS :

The Affordable Care Act states, “Health Insurance plans MUST provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment for the duration of breastfeeding. These services may be provided before and after birth.” The only exceptions to this are state funded health care plans and grandfathered plans.

PLEASE KNOW :

Your insurance plan is a contract between you and your insurance company. If you want to know exact coverage, please reach out to them for information. Keep in mind you may be partially or totally reimbursed or may need to reach your deductible to be eligible.

If for some reason your insurance company does not cover the cost for my services, I want to assure you that in being a self-pay patient, my price is inline with my expertise, education, and skills. I am passionate about what I do, I care deeply about every family I work with, and strive for excellence in my work. With that said, if you are experiencing financial difficulty, you may be entitled to a sliding scale rate. Please contact me before booking if you have experienced lay off or job loss.
