​

Anthem BCBS Plans:

Effective 1/1/2026: 

Select Anthem commercial health plan members are eligible for NO-COST VIRTUAL lactation support. If you are an Anthem member it is a two-step process to get started with me for lactation support through Wildflower Health.  Please scroll down to our insurance verfication form below to be directed to next steps to pair with me through Wildflower health and then enroll in Anthem's Building Healthy Families program (once you fill out the Wildflower Form it will lead you to this next step through Anthem).  Once approved, you can schedule a NO COST Virtual lactation consultation with me with our "Book Now" widget or call me/text me to schedule.  If you are approved, you will be eligible for up to 2 prenatal and 6 postpartum virtual visits.  All IN PERSON consults remain self-pay at this time as Anthem will not allow me to participate in billing them directly in any capacity.  I can offer a superbill for all self-paid services for IN PERSON visits, and you can contact Anthem directly for reimbursement.  I have had very good success rate with Anthem covering in person visits with a submitted superbill from my clients. See self pay rates lower down on this page.

​

Tricare/Medicaid Plans:

Strong as a Mother offers 50% off our self pay rates for in office and virtual postpartum lactation appointments only.  No discounts are available for in home visits. Please scroll to our blue "Book Now" button to book under Medicaid available appointments.

​

All Other Plans: 

​We are out of network.  See self pay rates lower down on this page.  Insurances such as Connecticare will generally reimburse you in full for one in person visit.  Please contact your insurance company directly for out of network lactation coverage details.  We will always be happy to provide you with a superbill. 

​​

Home Visit Travel Fees: 

 Of note, I do charge a $75 travel fee for all in-home visits effective 4/1/2025 due to the opening of our new flagship office location at 4 Hitfield Rd. in Newtown, CT.   Of note, we do have one standard set of 12 stairs to our home office.  I can also bring you in from a back entrance to limit step ups to about 3 total.  If you have a medical limitation and can not climb any stairs, please contact me directly at lauren@strongasamother.net to schedule.
