INSURANCE &Lactation visit costs
Insurance Coverage
I Accept:
Aetna
Cigna
Colorado Medicaid (Health First Colorado)
Curative
UnitedHealthcare UMR, & Health First
Please check your coverage through The Lactation Network (TLN) before booking.
Lactation support is a preventive benefit under most of these plans, which means most families have no out-of-pocket cost for the visit — no copay and no deductible.
Every visit is a full assessment with a written care plan and notes sent to your baby's provider.
In-home visits
Available with all plans except Medicaid. There's a $50 travel fee paid at the visit — insurance doesn't cover travel.
Health First Colorado (Medicaid)
Covered in full at my Boulder or Lafayette office, or by telehealth anywhere in Colorado. In-home visits aren't available under Medicaid. You'll need a referral from your provider or your baby's before your visit — either one works.
Kaiser Insurance
I am happy to bill Kaiser for covered lactation services. However, insurance coverage and payment cannot be guaranteed. If Kaiser denies or does not reimburse your visit, you are responsible for the balance at my current self-pay rates.
Please note that travel fees apply for all in-home visits are not covered by insurance and are the responsibility of the client, regardless of insurance coverage.
Card on File Policy: A valid credit card is required prior to all in-home visits and all self-pay office and virtual visits. Your card will only be charged for your patient responsibility, including applicable deductibles, coinsurance, denied insurance claims, travel fees, self-pay balances, or cancellation fees in accordance with our office policies.
Self-Pay Rates
Don't have one of the insurance plans listed above? You are still welcome to schedule care.

In-Home Travel Fee
In-home visits are generally available within approximately 15 miles of my Lafayette office.
Travel fee: $50 per in-home visit
Travel fees are separate from the cost of the lactation visit and are not covered by insurance.
Need support farther away? Extended travel may be available depending on distance and scheduling. Additional travel fees may apply.
There is no travel fee for office or virtual visits.
