Lactation & Infant Feeding Services
I am an in-network provider with Aetna and Independence Blue Cross. For verification of coverage for your individual plan, please contact member services. Typically, if you are a member with one of these insurers for your primary insurance, I can bill them directly for care provided. Depending on your plan, lactation care may be covered 100% as a preventative service, or there may be applicable co-insurance or fees that you are responsible to pay.
For other insurance carriers, please contact your insurance provider to inquire about coverage for lactation services. I offer services to those who wish to pay out-of-pocket and will provide a receipt you may submit to your insurance if applicable.
​
I offer home visits within 30 minutes of West Chester, PA, and virtual consultations. Although much can be accomplished virtually, I recommend an in-person home visit for an initial postpartum consultation to best assess the parent, baby and feeding relationship.

Prenatal Consultation
Individualized one-to-one session that will prepare you to confidently feed your baby from birth, and assist you in setting personal goals for lactation and feeding. (Approx 1 hour session)

Initial Postpartum Consultation
A comprehensive lactation evaluation. Our time together will include birth parent and infant(s) health & birth histories and relevant physical assessment, assessment of latch and feeding, review of pump fit & use as needed, bottle feeding strategies if applicable, creation of individualized feeding plan, and communication to your care team/pediatrician. (Approx 2 hr session)

Follow-up Postpartum Visits
Any visit after your initial consultation is considered a follow-up visit. We will address any ongoing or new challenges and adjust your care plan accordingly. Follow-up sessions may also include time to address plans for returning to work and/or weaning. (Approx 1 hr session)
