Your insurance may assign cost sharing to the visit, as applicable per your plan. Cost sharing refers to the portion of care you are responsible for, such as a copay, coinsurance, or deductible, and may apply to the mother, baby, or both. Lactation services are typically billed as a specialist visit. In many cases, lactation care is fully covered. For peace of mind, you may wish to contact your insurance provider directly to ask about your lactation benefits. If services are not fully covered, financial assistance options may be available to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Oscar Marketplace Plans
Nurture Lactation KC is not contracted with Oscar Marketplace plans. However, many Oscar members receive reimbursement for lactation services after submitting a superbill. Appointments are scheduled as self-pay, and payment is due at the time of booking. After your consultation, we will provide a detailed superbill that you can submit directly to Oscar for possible reimbursement based on your individual benefits.

Ambetter, Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield, and CareSource Marketplace Plans
These Marketplace plans are generally considered out of network and commonly do not reimburse for services billed via superbill.

Patients with these plans should plan to schedule as self-pay.
