Lactation Services
Breastfeeding support tailored to fit your individual needs!
Consultations are available at various times and group classes open in several locations. I accept payment by cash, check, credit card and HSA card; payments must be received at time of service. I am unable to bill insurance directly but provide a detailed billing invoice for each consultation/class which can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your specific insurance company and plan. Many insurance companies will reimburse part or all of the cost of a lactation consultant/class, especially with a referral from your or your child's physician. Contact your insurance company for more information on reimbursement and coverage. Two office locations: Wichita - 728 W. Douglas Ave. AND Pratt - 330 N. Oak St.
