Fees

Cash, credit cards, or HSA cards are all accepted.  I require a card on file when you complete paperwork and schedule, though you may pay by other means if you choose.

I am an OT/CLC and will provide Superbills outlining OT codes under the baby, since this is my primary role/licensure.  This means that if you plan to use insurance, the plan coverage that your baby has is what would be used for billing.

I do not bill insurance as a lactation consultant, but because I am a CLC, I address maternal lactation concerns in the context of the "big picture" of feeding for any family who is breastfeeding.   Occupational therapists have a large scope of practice, with many obtaining additional certifications  on top of their primary license to enhance their skills.  My lactation credentials qualify me to address complex lactation issues within my scope of practice as a therapist.  

Many insurance plans cover Occupational Therapy services although coverage differs by plan. Therefore, I advise calling your insurance company to ask about your specific occupational therapy coverage.

I think it’s important to say that not all therapy services are equal.  We all have different skills, experiences, and levels of expertise, and it is important to find the provider who can best meet your needs.  Don’t let insurance dictate your provider; you will find the fastest answer to your issue by going to a provider with the appropriate skill set.   I am unique in my combination of pediatric therapy + lactation expertise, with a skill set and scope that is wider than many other providers and therefore can provide many answers to your concerns “under one roof”. This eliminates communication barriers amongst differing providers and multiple costly appointments.

I require 24 hours notice for cancellations; otherwise, it's a $25 fee for the missed appointment, or the full missed appointment fee for a second incident. I am a mom and a human and I understand that last minute illness/emergencies happen, and I absolutely extend grace where I can.  However, please understand that when you book a slot, this is a MINIMUM of an hour on my schedule.  Most evaluations require a 2 hour time block, and your fee covers my time to review your paperwork, see you in person face to face for 60+ minutes, write your treatment plan and evaluation, correspond with your medical team, etc.  It can amount to 2.5-3 hours of unpaid time in the event of a last minute cancel or no show...these are not short appointments.  Last minute cancels and no shows mean both lost time that I cannot offer to another client on the waiting list and lost income.  I require a card on file and have a late cancel/no show fee in place to protect my small business.

If finances are holding you back from booking an appointment please reach out about our sliding pay scale for those who qualify. I never want finances to be a barrier to receiving skilled care.
