Lactation visits may be covered by insurance

Getting help shouldn’t have to depend on whether you can afford another unexpected postpartum expense.

Who is your insurance with?

Fort Worth Lactation & Tongue Tie Specialists works with many major commercial insurance plans, including eligible Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem, UnitedHealthcare/UMR, Cigna and Aetna plans.

Coverage varies by individual plan, so we’ll verify your benefits before scheduling whenever applicable.

Lactation Insurance Verification Form

  • In network with most BCBS/Anthem PPO, UnitedHealthcare/UMR, Cigna & Aetna commercial plans
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas HMO plans, with a referral from your primary care provider (how it works)
  • We do not accept Medicaid, STAR/CHIP, or any other HMO plans at this time

Know what your visit may cost, before you book

We believe moms deserve to know what their lactation care may cost before they agree to a visit, not after. When asked, we’ll give you an estimate of your expected out-of-pocket cost whenever possible, and we stand behind that estimate even if your insurance ultimately reimburses us less than anticipated.

You deserve to make an informed decision about your care with a clear understanding of the potential cost from the start.

Prefer not to wait for your referral?

We understand that feeding concerns can’t always wait. If you prefer to receive care before your HMO referral is completed, you may choose to schedule a private cash-pay lactation consultation. This is a separate, self-pay service that cannot be submitted to insurance for reimbursement.
