Payment Process & Superbills

To make the process as simple as possible, we collect a credit or debit card at the time of booking. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Following your visit, the card on file will be securely charged for the services provided.

After your appointment, you will receive a detailed superbill that includes the billing codes needed to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

The Benefits of Out-of-Pocket Lactation Care

Choosing out-of-pocket lactation support allows us to provide comprehensive, individualized care without the constraints often imposed by insurance-based visits. This approach gives us the time to fully understand your feeding goals, address complex or evolving concerns, and provide thoughtful education and guidance without rushing.

Out-of-network care also allows for continuity of care, so families can work with the same provider throughout their feeding journey, from prenatal preparation through postpartum follow-up. By focusing on clinical care rather than visit limits or documentation requirements, many families find this model leads to clearer guidance and greater confidence during the early postpartum period.
