Aetna and Banner Aetna:

We are preferred providers for Aetna and can bill directly for lactation consultations for most Aetna and Banner Aetna subscribers. However, check with your insurance carrier before your visit to verify your benefits and ensure we are in-network for your particular plan. NOTE: We no longer accept Meritain Health, a subsidiary of the Aetna Network.

AHCCCS does not currently cover lactation support services. However, we do have low-cost visits available for AHCCCS members. Please choose “AHCCCS/WIC Low Cost Visit” when scheduling.

Yes! We are proud to support families with twins or multiples on their feeding journeys. To ensure we have enough time to meet your family’s unique needs, initial lactation visits for multiples are extended by 45 minutes and include an additional fee of $50. Follow-up and other appointments are extended by 15 minutes with an additional fee of $25.

If you are using insurance for your visits, these extended time fees are included in the bill we submit to your insurance provider.

When booking, select the appointment type you need and you’ll see an option to indicate that you have twins or multiples.

Absolutely! You're welcome to bring a support person to your consultation. Having someone there can be a great help, especially when practicing the techniques together at home.
