Frequently Asked Questions about Consultation

I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CONSULTATION?
Click HERE to learn more about a Consultation.

​HOW MUCH DOES A CONSULTATION COST?
​See my "CONSULTATIONS" page to learn more about cost.   
​

HOW CAN I PAY YOU?
I accept: Cash, Debit, Visa, M/C, Discover, 
​Amex and Health Flex Saving cards. Convenient, online payment option available.
​

​DO YOU SELL GIFT CERTIFICATES?
Yes, I do. Call or Text Shannon at (979) 977-6455​ to purchase a gift certificate.
​

​​DO YOU OFFER PACKAGE DEALS?
Yes, I do if selecting "cash-pay" pricing. If insurance billing is requested, then I do not. For further insurance pricing and cash pricing details, see my "Consultations" page for further details.
​​

​​DO YOU HAVE A PAYMENT PLAN?
With a valid credit card on file, yes. My goal is to help you breastfeed your baby. I do not want financial concerns to keep you from obtaining the help that you need. Please feel free to discuss fees with me. 
​​

DO I HAVE TO USE MY INSURANCE?
No! You can pay me my discounted "cash" rate. I can provide you with a medical-grade "super-bill" receipt so that you may file your own claim with your insurance company for a possible reimbursement.
NOTE: You are most likely to have an insurance claim approved if you have a written referral form from your doctor BEFORE you see me.
​

​​I NEED HELP BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION?
The state of Texas provides a 24-hour phone hotline  for anyone in Texas to speak to a lactation specialist who can provide answers to breastfeeding questions at (855)-550-6667.

CAN I USE MY INSURANCE?
Maybe, but generally, no. It is a confusing topic and the answer is equally as complicated. Private Insurance plans are required to provide breastfeeding help under Women’s Preventive Services of the Affordable Care Act. (Coverage is for a mother, not a baby.) I encourage YOU to contact your insurance plan to verify YOUR specific coverage. 

- I am NOT contracted as an "in-network" 
   provider with any insurance company. ​

- I expect full payment when service is 
   rendered. I can file your insurance for 
   you and will reimburse you up to 100%
   of what you have paid if/when insurance
   payment is received.  

- If there is no "in-network" IBCLC provider
   in your insurance network, it is possible 
   that your insurance may pay (or
   reimburse a claim) at an "in-network"
   provider rate.   

- Your insurance may pay (or reimburse a 
   claim) as an "out-of-network" provider 
   benefit. If your "out-of-network"     
   deductible has not been met, there could
   be no payment made even upon an
   accepted claim.

- While I am not able to guarantee
   coverage of my services by your
   insurance plan, if you do not have
   insurance coverage, you may request to
   use my "Cash-Pay" rate discount (see the 
   information below about NO Insurance
   Coverage).     
​​

I HAVE NO INSURANCE COVERAGE?
If you have NO Insurance Coverage, and must pay out of pocket, I provide a Cash-Pay discount which reduces the fee for consultation to $150 for your Initial appointment, $75 for your 1st follow up, $50 for your 2nd follow-up and any subsequent visits. I do not file for insurance reimbursement when choosing this option, and will ask for payment at the time of each appointment. Upon your request, I can provide you with a Superbill receipt so that you can file your own claim with your insurance plan for possible reimbursement.

​Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.
