Home & Office Visits

• Include history taking, before and after feeding wt checks to determine intake, and personalized plan of care.
• I don’t promise to “fix” your problem, but I do promise to help you develop a plan to either fix it or deal with it.
• Your physician(s) will receive a copy of the report if appropriate.
• You should check to see if your insurance company will reimburse you for the visit.
• I will provide you with a superbill for that purpose.  You should also see about getting an order from your Pediatrician to see a Lactation Consultant so that you have a better chance of being reimbursed.
• All consults are by appointment, usually after the store closes. I am usually available on weekends and holidays. Just call and I’ll see what I can do.

Phone Consults

• I am available by phone for simple questions or problems.
• I can’t really help with sore nipples or a poor latch over the phone, or any other problem which might require
  that I see the baby nurse to give good recommendations.
• I will need to take a short history over the phone, which will include your name, phone number, and address for
  record keeping and billing purposes, so please be prepared to provide this information. Otherwise, I cannot provide phone help. I appreciate your understanding.
• A report of your phone consult may be sent to your physician(s) to help coordinate care.
