Insurance Coverage

Materna Lactation is in-network with Aetna. Most Aetna policies cover up to 6 lactation visits, including prenatal visits. It is your responsibility to make sure we are an approved provider with your specific Aetna plan as some plans have coverage and service restrictions. If you and/or your baby are covered by Aetna insurance, we will bill for your services directly with Aetna. You are responsible for the consultation fees if insurance does not cover your fees.
