Payment is due at the time of service. I accept cash, check or credit card via Paypal or Square. I believe all mothers deserve compassionate lactation care and financial situations will not be a barrier to consultation. Please contact me for payment plans and sliding scale options. Insurance
While I do not bill insurance on your behalf, I do try to make sure you have all the necessary paperwork you may need to submit for reimbursement. I can not guarantee my services will be covered by your company. Some families also choose to use funds from their pre-tax medical spending accounts to cover lactation services.
