Aetna

Laid Back Lactation is an in-network provider with Aetna (must be the primary insurance for coverage). For most Aetna plans, this means no out-of-pocket cost or copay for initial or follow-up consultations. We always encourage clients to contact Aetna to confirm their level of coverage.

In-Office Visits: Aetna covers at 100%

Non-Aetna

For clients with all other non-Aetna insurance companies, clients pay the full consult cost up front. Laid Back Lactation provides a superbill for the client to submit directly to the insurance company.

In-Office Visits: $325

Clients are encouraged to contact their individual provider to determine reimbursement eligibility for lactation care, which under the Affordable Care Act should be covered. The toolkit provided by the National Women’s Law Center is useful to read before communicating with the insurance provider.
