How to Pay for Your Consultation

At Flow Lactation you can pay for services in one of the following ways:

  • Through Insurance — We will bill your insurance directly.

  • Through Self-Pay — You pay us directly and we provide you with a superbill which you can submit for possible reimbursement.

We are in-network with both Aetna and Anthem. See below different insurance situations below to find out your coverage and options. We recommend you check your benefits before booking an appointment.

Insurance Coverage

Mom and Baby Both In-Network
