Self-pay (out-of-network) clients:
I will provide you with a superbill suitable for you to submit to your insurance. The
superbill (which will also serve as a payment receipt) will be coded appropriately to the
level of service provided during the visit. You agree to pay me at the time of the visit (cash,
check, credit card, or FSA).
Insurance (in-network) clients:
Claims for my care will be submitted directly to Expression Lactation, LLC. Expression
Lactation, LLC will appeal all cost-sharing under the Affordable Care Act which states that
lactation services are preventive and not subject to cost-sharing. If my insurance provider
applies any portion to deductible or coinsurance and appeal attempts are unsuccessful, my
credit card on file will be charged. If that charge is unsuccessful for any reason, I will be
invoiced and I agree to pay within 7 days for all applied charges for all visits.
Expression Lactation, LLC will submit a claim on behalf of myself and my babies. If any
portion of either claim is applied to cost-sharing, I understand that I am required by law to
pay cost-sharing to Expression Lactation LLC. My credit card will be charged upon receipt
of the Estimation of Benefits (EOB) by Expression Lactation, LLC. Every effort will be made
to have my insurance recognize these claims as preventive and not subject to cost-sharing,
and an appeal will be initiated. If successful, I will be refunded any amount that Expression
Lactation, LLC recovers from my insurer.
If one of us (me or my baby) is on different insurance and therefore out-of-network for
Expression Lactation, LLC I agree to pay $150 per visit. I will receive a superbill for this
amount and can submit for out-of-network insurance.
If I have different primary insurance that is out-of-network for Expression Lactation LLC, I
understand that I must pay the full self-pay fee up front as a deposit. I will not be refunded
for any amount either insurance applies to cost-sharing. I will only be refunded if and when
Expression Lactation, LLC receives payment directly from either insurance, and only for the
specific amounts paid by my insurance(s). Expression Lactation, LLC may keep any amount
paid by my insurance(s) over and above the deposit I paid.

I am responsible to verify my own lactation benefits. Expression Lactation, LLC can only see
that I have benefits, they cannot see if I have any special circumstances that might prevent
my insurance provider from covering services. If my plan denies coverage of lactation
services after the claims have been submitted, I am responsible to pay at the self-pay rate. I
understand I should refer to my plan benefits and call my insurance directly to verify
lactation coverage.
Expression Lactation, LLC may communicate with my insurance company in reference to
the services provided to me and my baby or babies.Expression Lactation, LLC may

security and privacy with regard to financial transactions. However, Stripe may send,

health information such as the date and type of lactation visit. If you are not comfortable
with this, payment may be made via cash or check instead.
