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.

All In-Home Consults are subject to a $50 Home Visit Convenience Fee. You can avoid this fee by booking an Office Consult. Typically, this is the only money you will owe, there are usually no co-pays or deductible payments with my billing structure.

If your baby does not have United insurance, there will be a $100 fee that is not eligible for insurance coverage. You can submit an out-of-network reimbursement request to their insurance company, but I cannot guarantee reimbursement.
