Frequently asked questions

  • What happens during an in-person lactation visit?

    I will assess both you and your baby, observe a feeding, and check for any issues affecting feeding, such as latch and milk transfer. This includes a weighted feed when possible to measure how much milk your baby is transferring. After the visit, I’ll provide a personalized plan, and notes will be sent to your care providers to ensure coordinated care.

  • What happens in a virtual consult?

    We’ll connect via HIPAA-compliant video call, and I’ll assess latch and positioning. Virtual visits are best for follow-up questions, returning to work, weaning, and starting solids, and are not ideal for direct help with latching. If you’re in a remote area, I will provide as much support as possible via telehealth. While I can’t perform a weighted feed, I’ll offer a personalized plan. Notes will be sent to your care providers for coordinated care.

  • How long does a consultation last?

    Most visits last 60-90 minutes, depending on the complexity of your concerns.

  • Where do consultations take place?

    I offer in-home lactation visits in Erie, CO, and surrounding areas within a one-hour driving distance. Travel fees apply.

    Additionally, telehealth visits are available to anyone in the state of Colorado, though insurance coverage for telehealth visits varies.

  • Do you work with insurance?

    Yes, I work with the following insurance plans:

    Aetna

    United Healthcare

    CIGNA

    Medicaid

    For those who do not have one of the above plans, your visit will be cash pay. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

  • Will there be any out of pocket costs?

    Most insurance plans cover lactation visits at no cost to you. If covered, your only out-of-pocket expense is the travel fee.
