LIMITED APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE FOR EXISTING CLIENTS IN AUGUST: EMAIL ME TO SCHEDULE.

Appointments take place in your home. I travel up to 20 minutes drive from my home in Bloomfield, NJ. If you live beyond this or are not sure please contact me. A travel fee may be added for those outside my usual area.

See here for my service area.

Virtual appointments using my secure Google meet link are also available on request.

  • Initial Consult (90 mins): $320 in your home, $250 virtual

    Follow up (60 mins): $220 in your home, $150 virtual

    Prenatal (60 mins): $150 virtual only

    Please note that virtual appointments will not include a weighted feed or detailed physical exam - I will guide you in using your own hands to do this as much as I can.

    Payment is due within 24 hours of booking in order to secure the appointment time. I will provide a Superbill for all pre-paid appointments. A superbill is a receipt that you can submit to insurance. They may reimburse you for all or part of the visit cost.

  • I am in network with most primary Aetna plans.

    Travel fee ($50) applies to home visits except for those in Bloomfield, Clifton, Glen Ridge, Montclair and Nutley.

    Please confirm your lactation coverage with your insurance policy before booking. Some online breastfeeding classes use up lactation benefits before the baby arrives (particularly Aeroflow).

    Some plans will assign a portion of the claim to your or your baby’s deductible. I will invoice you for any remaining portion after the explanation of benefits has been received.

  • If you have Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, United, VA CCN, Multiplan or PNOA Insurance your visit may be covered through The Lactation Network (TLN). They are a billing company who will bill your insurance and guarantee lactation coverage. Pre-approval is required by TLN before the appointment. Approval can take a day or two but is usually the same day. Email me with the details of your insurance plan(s) and I will collect the information needed to request pre-approval.

  • I strongly recommend you call your insurance company and ask them about your lactation coverage before booking an appointment. If they do not have any local IBCLCs in their network you can ask for a Gap Exception to cover out of network cost. This can help you get reimbursed when you submit a superbill (receipt) for the visit. All out of network plans need to be pre-paid to book. I will send you a Superbill after the visit.

  • *There is no travel fee for home visits in Bloomfield, Clifton, Glen Ridge, Montclair and Nutley, NJ.*

    A $50 travel fee applies to home visits outside of these towns for all Aetna and The Lactation Network clients and is payable directly to Beech Tree Lactation. The fee is not reimbursable by health insurance. Payment of travel fee is due within 24 hours of booking the appointment. Service area can be checked here.

  • If you are medicaid eligible or you receive WIC, all services are available at 50% off the self-pay rates. I also offer a limited amount of pay what you can and pro-bono appointments. Email kathryn@beechtreelactation.com if you have financial need.

You may also email or text me to schedule if you don’t see a time that works:
