Insurance and Discounts
RootLove Lactation Services partners with The Lactation Network and Wildflower Health to obtain insurance coverage for lactation services. Most PPO Anthem, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, United and VA CCN insurance plans, as well as plans that utilize MultiPlan and PNOA, are accepted. Easily check coverage HERE by completing the 2-minute online form. If covered, you’ll have as many appointments as necessary at no cost to you!* Medicaid coverage is also accepted and provides full coverage for lactation services.
* For in-home consultations covered by commercial insurance, a fee of $50 applies for locations within a 30-minute drive from my office, and $75 for travel beyond 30 minutes. There are no additional fees for appointments held at my office or conducted virtually.
The Affordable Care Act stipulates that insurance plans are required to reimburse you for your out-of-pocket expenses for lactation support. If you don’t qualify for upfront insurance coverage, I’ll provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Please note, I cannot guarantee what level of coverage your insurance will provide. Lactation consulting services are eligible for reimbursement through a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA) or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). Sliding scale discounts are available for need-based requests. Please contact me for more information.
What can a consultation help with?
A board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) represents the highest standard of expertise in lactation and infant feeding training. Working alongside your healthcare team, an IBCLC ensures you receive optimal care, especially in challenging or complex situations. Seeking professional support for feeding your child can help you navigate and overcome various challenges that may arise.
IBCLCs do so much more than check your baby’s latch. Here are some common issues and topics we can address in your consultation:
- Identify the cause of breast or nipple pain (e.g., plugged ducts, engorgement, mastitis) and provide a treatment plan.
- Assess and correct latch and positioning challenges.
- Identify underlying causes of low milk supply and provide personalized treatment options to boost production.
- Assist with post-frenotomy (tongue-tie release) oral exercises and suck training.
- Manage slow weight gain while protecting and preserving breastfeeding.
- Develop strategies for safe and effective formula supplementation.
- Provide support for pumping, including exclusive pumping.
- Offer treatment for oversupply and overactive letdown.
- Manage baby’s acid reflux.
- Learn ways to interact with your baby to promote optimal development, including healthy eating and sleeping habits.
- Support induced lactation, re-lactation, and chestfeeding.
- Provide prenatal preparation for breastfeeding.
- Offer support for adjusting to new parenthood.
- Create a plan for returning to work.
- Guide you on starting your baby on solid foods in an age-appropriate manner.
