Payment for Insurance Visits
I am in-network with Aetna, United, and Tricare, and the coverage must be your primary insurance in order for your visit to be covered. You are responsible for contacting your insurance and confirming your eligibility and benefits. A credit card will be collected at the time of booking to reserve the appointment, and you will be responsible for the full fee in the event that insurance refuses to cover the visit. Both parent and baby must be in-network, otherwise the Client may be responsible for a portion of the visit up to but not exceeding the full fee (detailed below).
Your insurance may ask for my NPI (1588300164), business name (Brook Farm Lactation and Doula), and practitioner name (Alexandra White), to confirm your benefits.
Initial visits are $350 and last typically 90-120 minutes. Follow up visits are billed at $175 an hour.
All home visits with a distance longer than 20 miles from zipcode 10506 (Bedford, NY) will be charged a $50 travel fee that is not covered by insurance.
Starting January 2025, on Fridays I will only see clients in my Bedford Hills space (a beautiful office nested in Westchester Creative Arts Therapy), but if you need a home visit on Friday I will charge an additional $75 convenience fee that is not covered by insurance. All other days I will continue to see families for home visits.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, a 24-hour notice is appreciated. Any appointment cancelled within 24 hours without rescheduling will be charged a 50% ($175) fee.
