Investing in Care & Support for you and Your Baby

How much does a Lactation Consult cost?

Many insurance companies cover the costs of lactation visits. (If you ask me, ALL should!) I've partnered with The Lactation Network (TLN) and Wildflower Health to cover your visits with me!
TLN works with United Health Care and some Aetna plans
You can check your coverage Here
Wildflower Health with Cigna, you can verify coverage Here.

If your insurance does not cover visits, my self-pay rate is:
$165 initial office visit, $135 follow up office visits
$195 initial home visit, $145 follow up home visit  (a travel fee of $45 applies to ALL home visits)

A Superbill will be provided for all Self Pay visits for insurance reimbursement purposes.

Where’s your office located? 

Inside The Chiropractic Place for Mommy & Me in Aledo, Texas (203 E. Oak St).

Our building sits behind the Aledo Flower Shoppe. Look for a big sign at the end of the driveway! Check in at the front desk and I’ll be with you soon!

How do I book an appointment with you?

Check your insurance coverage with The Lactation Network (TLN) or Wildflower Health first.

Book online with me here ​after submitting your insurance info. We often have verification within 48hrs of submitting our information.

IF TLN or Wildflower aren't in network with your insurance, no worries! Many insurances do cover Lactation Visits, I’ll provide you with an itemized receipt that you can submit for reimbursement.

Follow all prompts and links in any emails from me. It’s best to have these finished before the day of your appointment, so I can gather additional resources if needed.

Payment Processing

Payments may be made electronically using a credit card or fund transfer.  I use SquareUp to process payments. SquareUp meets the high standards of HIPAA and the banking industry for security and privacy with regard to financial transactions.  However, SquareUp may send, automatically or per your request, email or text message receipts that reveal personal health information such as the date and type of lactation visit.   If you are not comfortable with this, payment may be made via Zelle instead.
