Insurance not accepted? FSA/HSA cards can be used. We also can provide a Superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

If you would like further information on potential reimbursement prior to submission, contact your insurance provider in advance to understand your out-of-network benefits and reimbursement criteria. More information below.

Potential Reimbursement Guide

Prior to Your Visit (note – this is optional, for informational purposes)

  • When contacting your insurance company to determine reimbursement for a visit you’re paying for out of pocket, ask the following: “Can you tell me the out-of-network reimbursement rate or allowed amount for lactation consultations under my plan?”
  • Be sure to include these details:
    • CPT code(s): email us for specific codes that would be used for your visit
    • Type of provider and specialty: RN, IBCLC
    • Location of service: Wilmington, DE 19803
    • Your plan details (mention your plan type and whether it includes out-of-network benefits).
    • Deductible and coinsurance: Ask how much of your out-of-network deductible has been met and what percentage of the “allowed amount” will be reimbursed.
    • Any required forms: Ask how to submit and what documentation you need to submit for reimbursement (e.g., a superbill or itemized invoice).
    • Time Frame for Submission: Ask what the deadline for submission is. 6 months after the date of the visit, one year?

After Your Visit

  • Email info@balancedbreastfeeding.com to request a superbill. You can request this after each visit or request all at once.
  • Submit the visit to your insurance company based on their instructions for submission.
