Welcome! We are so glad you are here! We look forward to helping you on your breastfeeding journey! Please follow all of the steps below to prepare for our appointment.
1. Schedule an Appointment
*CLINIC, HOME, & VIRTUAL CONSULTS*
1. Please reschedule if your family is ill.
2. Please place animals in a different room.
3. We generally have a more successful
visit if other children are elsewhere.
Please move to step 2 and to check insurance.
Your insurance may help cover the cost of lactation services – don’t miss out! You do still have to apply for most insurances-so see links below. I work with the following insurance carriers for most plans and even with moms who are not lactating can still get coverage for services if baby is having feeding issues:
If you’re not covered with Lactation Network or have out-of-network insurance, I can give you a super-bill that you provide to your insurance company for hopeful reimbursement. This option requires you to pay out of pocket for your visits. After finishing this section, please move onto the step to 3 to do online paperwork.
Medicaid might be covered if mom or baby has one of the insurances listed below.
Anthem, First Choice Health, Sunrest, Aetna, United, UMR, HMA, VA CCN, Humana PPO, CHAMPVA please apply on other insurance button below on Aetna and United apply here button.
Cigna will apply through Wildflower for 6 visits, see Cigna Apply here button below.
Anthem, Regence, St Lukes plans, and Select Health we are able to submit your claim to your insurance for hopeful payment through Rebecca McDonald, FNP with 2m0tiv8 Health & Wellness. You will be responsible for what your insurance does not pay. If it is not covered or you have not met your deductible, the rate is $125 plus $40 for insurance billing fee, or you can choose to not submit and just pay the private pay rate of $125.
Health shares are private pay and we will provide a superbill for you to submit for hopeful reimbursement
When done, please MOVE TO STEP 3 BELOW.
2. Check your Insurance Coverage
3. Medical Portal and Sign Consent to Treat
This paperwork goes over pertinent medical history and information that helps me serve you and your baby better. Please don’t hold back. I’ve been doing this for many years and I’ve heard it all. I’m here to support your family!
Click the online portal button to fill out, review, and sign the consent form on a secure patient records platform. Use “Boise Lactation” when it asks for practice name and please make sure and sign the “Consent to Treat” in the documents portion.
