If the lactating person has United or UMR insurance, I will bill their insurance plan directly. It is the patient’s responsibility to verify that I am an in-network provider for the plan. I bill conservatively, so there is almost always no cost-sharing to the patient (no co-pays or deductible payments).
While I am in-network with most United plans, there are a few select plans for which I am out of network. Specifically, if you have a United/Harvard Pilgrim combo plan and your insurance card says “Passport Connect,” I am not in-network. It is very important to that you verify my in-network status with your United plan (online portal or phone call) before booking.
