Insurance Info

We are in-network providers with:

Carefirst/BCBS/Anthem/Federal BCBS

There are thousands of plans in the Carefirst/BCBS network and some plans have limitations on lactation care. Many of the local Baltimore/Maryland plans have no restrictions and provide unlimited visits, both in-person and virtually! We will confirm your plan is active, but we won’t be able to confirm specific limitations. We provide the billing codes in our welcome email and we encourage all patients to check benefits.

Aetna/Mertain

Aetna limits the number of one specific billing code for lactation visits. Some plans will only cover 3 uses of this code (because we may need to use one code for mom, and one code for baby during a visit). You can call and ask how many uses of the code S9443 with diagnosis code Z39.1 you have. If you did any online lactation courses prenatally, it may have used up some of your codes. However, we are able to bill other codes. We will provide an estimate of any balance due prior to your appointment.

United Healthcare

Most plans allow unlimited home visits at no out of pocket cost to you. Virtual care may not be covered.

Johns Hopkins Employer Health Plan (EHP)

Hopkins EHP covers home visits at no cost to you! Virtual visits may not be covered. There may be a limit on how many visits you are allowed.

We typically bill both the lactating parent and the baby’s plans, when baby is present during the appointment. We require insurance information for both patients. Utilizing insurance does not guarantee coverage.
