All consultations are done in the comfort of your own home. For this reason, my service area is limited to the cities of Alameda and Oakland.
Insurance: Many health insurance companies now cover lactation support.  Milk Nook provides you with all the forms necessary to submit your claim for reimbursement.

To find out if your insurance company will pay for your breastfeeding consultation, call and ask if they reimburse for "education and training for patient self-management" (CPT code 98960)."
