Yes, we bill insurance!

Breastfeeding help should be 100% covered as a part of the Affordable Care Act.   New mamas shouldn't have to worry about submitting superbills and fighting with their insurance companies to get help feeding their babies. Let us take that off your to-do list, so you can focus on loving and feeding your baby.

What is a new mom to do? 

Since 2018, we have worked diligently to be in-network with insurance companies, making it easier for new mothers to access our services. While things usually go smoothly, there are exceptions—grandfathered plans, tricky pre-existing condition clauses, and the dreaded clawbacks and audits. These hurdles are burdensome not just for new mamas but also for lactation consultants. Our focus should be on supporting moms and babies, not navigating bureaucratic red tape. To minimize financial risks and simplify the process, Lisa Bloom IBCLC has maintained in-network status with insurance companies and partnered with The Lactation Network and Wildflower Health when in-network is not an option. These partnerships allow us to dedicate more time to what truly matters: the well-being of mothers and their babies.

  • My insurance is Tenncare, I heard that I can get lactation help with my insurance.  Do you accept Tenncare?​

  • Will you work with my ​health care share ministry?

    • ​If they accept electronic submission of claims, we are willing to submit claims on your behalf. If not, we will issue a superbill for you to submit.

    • We require payment at time of service.​

  • Do you take credit cards?​ 

    • ​Yes, we are set up for credit card processing through our secure patient portal. We also accept checks and cash. We can accept HSA cards as well.

  • Do you offer home visits?

    • ​At this time we are not offering home visits.  We find that we can see more clients and offer a higher quality of service if moms are able to come to us. 

  • I am not able to get to your office, may I see you by telehealth?​

    • We would love to explore telehealth as an option for you. Telehealth visits may be covered by your insurance plan and are a great way to get care if you are not able to come to our location.  We have a secure site that is easy to use from your phone or laptop.  This option can be used as a bridge until you are able to travel to our location, or as a follow-up plan once care has been established.

If you have questions above and beyond the ones above, we would love to chat with you about it.  Please text our office at (865) 344-1788.
