Most patients can get their Lactation services covered 100% with zero out of post cost to you. This includes Prenatal education.
When we come to you for in-home or we see you in our office for lactation consulting, we spend about an hour and a half working with you and your baby. We will perform a comprehensive assessment, including checking for plugged ducts and possible tongue or lip tie, assist you with latch and positioning, counsel you on the normal course of breastfeeding, and provide you with a complete care plan that you can implement at home. Self pay payment and/or travel/service fee is due at the time of service, and we will provide you with a superbill form for insurance reimbursement. Our home visit service fee is $25
*In 2 separate trials, researchers at the Albert Einstein college of Medicine at Yeshiva University followed 941 women for six months after giving birth, and found that those who regularly received breastfeeding instruction and support from a lactation consultant were about four times more likely to exclusively breastfeed their infant at one month and nearly three times more likely to do so at three months, as compared to women who did not have support..
