Wait! Does my insurance plan cover all of this?

We are now working with The Lactation Network. If you have BCBSCigna, or United- they might be able to get you pre-approved for up to six covered (no copay) visits with us. Follow this link to get pre-approved:  https://go.lactationnetwork.com/ProfessionalBreastfeedingSupport

What about other insurance plans????

The Affordable Care Act dictates that breastfeeding supplies and support should be provided to patients without cost-sharing. We recommend that you contact your insurance company to determine coverage before your appointment. This script can help you talk to your insurance company.

All appointment fees are collected at the time of your visit. We will provide you with a Superbill to submit to your insurance company after the visit. You can submit this to your insurance company, and they will reimburse you directly. Depending on your insurance company (and your individual plan), the amount of the reimbursement can vary greatly. It is best to contact them before your appointment so that there are no surprises.

If you have a pre-tax health care expense account, all of our services qualify for reimbursement. We also accept credit cards from these accounts.

Evidence-Based Birth® Childbirth Course

The Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class is a 6-class, 100% interactive online series for today's busy families, delivering current evidence-based information in a friendly and approachable way. By taking the EBB® Childbirth Class, you and your partner will not only learn the evidence for medical and non-medical birth options from the safety of your own home, you will also get to work with your very own EBB® Instructor and other couples who want to go deeper into their preparation for childbirth, postpartum, and newborn care, just like you.

**Due to health and safety considerations related to COVID-19, Nature's Playhouse is excited to partner with Gianna Fay, EBB Birth Instructor. For more information click here.

Hypnobirthing

Hypnobirthing is a unique method of natural childbirth education, that involves methods of relaxation, breathing techniques and visualization -all of which allow women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birth.

**Due to health and safety considerations related to COVID-19, Nature's Playhouse is excited to partner with Katie Daibess, Hypnobirthing Instructor, to offer these classes. For more information click here.
