Insurance
North Shore Lactation services are fully covered by most major health insurance plans. We have a simple process to confirm that your appointment will be covered by insurance so that you can continue to focus on what matters most - Your Family! Please find your medical insurer below to learn more about your plan and coverage.
If your medical insurance plan does not cover your visit, you can pay for your appointment (including through most HSA/FSA plans) and upon request North Shore Lactation will provide you with an itemized superbill receipt that you may submit to your insurer and request reimbursement. The policies and rules vary by insurer and are frequently changing, so we cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed.
