We formerly accepted insurance for lactation consultations. Recent modifications within insurance networks have resulted in significant limitations and added administrative barriers that impact timely access to care. To maintain consistent service and a smooth scheduling experience, the practice has transitioned to a self pay model. Receipts will be issued for all completed sessions.
If you have any questions about this change or would like help choosing the right service, we are here to support you.
