Questions to consider asking your insurance carrier prior to your appointment:

- Does my insurance exclude home visits for lactation services (location code 12)?
- Do I have a co-payment or is there a percentage of the bill I will be responsible for?
- Does my plan require a deductible to be paid for the calendar year before the coverage begins? If so, what is the dollar amount?
- Does my insurance plan only cover a limited number of sessions for each calendar year?
- Is there a fax number I can use to submit therapy superbills (Kisha will provide superbills to you)* If not, what address should be used?
- Is there an additional form to be submitted with superbills?
* When submitting superbills to insurance please be sure to specify that you would like direct reimbursement.
