Many families qualify for insurance-covered lactation consultations. We work with several insurance providers and can help guide you through the verification process so you can focus on getting support when you need it most.

We also provide superbills for qualifying out-of-network reimbursement.

If your insurance is not accepted, we also offer self-pay appointments and can provide a superbill that you may submit for possible reimbursement.

If you're unsure whether your plan covers breastfeeding support, simply text or call us—we're happy to check your benefits before scheduling.


How soon can I get an appointment?

Most families can be seen within 24–48 hours, and same-day appointments may be available depending on our schedule.

We understand that breastfeeding concerns often need immediate attention. Whether you're experiencing painful nursing, low milk supply, a poor latch, tongue tie concerns, pumping questions, slow weight gain, or simply need reassurance, we'll do our best to get you and your baby the support you need as quickly as possible.


How much does a visit cost?

The cost of your appointment depends on your insurance coverage. Many families pay little or nothing out of pocket because their lactation consultation is covered by insurance.
