Many insurance plans (including Medicaid, Marketplace, and employer plans) are reimbursing lactation visits if they are provided by an IBCLC.  After the lactation visit, parents are given a superbill with ICD10 diagnoses and procedure codes to use for seeking insurance reimbursement. 

Parents can also use their HSA, FSA, or HRA card for lactation care at The Vine.  

Very simply, we accept ALL insurance plans.   Our doctor will utilize your insurance to obtain labs, x-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, and vaccines and also to recommend in-network specialists and emergency rooms. 

The Vine Pediatrics and Lactation focuses on the QUALITY of service, not the quantity of patients or procedures.  That is why we utilize a simple, monthly membership fee that includes ALL of our pediatric visits, after-hours care, and direct phone access to the doctor.  Our patients pay no copays or deductibles to our practice. So, there are no surprise bills. 

Universally, our patients say that the services and benefits provided by the practice far exceeds what their insurance will cover.  On average, our patients spend 45-60 minutes longer with our doctor than in a traditional office-based appointment.  

Our practice is composed of patients without insurance, with traditional health insurance, and with healthcare sharing plans.  If you do not have insurance, our doctor has access to heavily discounted labs & imaging to keep your out-of-pocket costs low.   

You can easily and quickly submit our superbills for insurance reimbursement on the Reimbursify app which is available in the app store for Android phones and iPhones.  You can also submit directly to your insurance company by calling the customer service phone number on the back of your insurance card. 

Credit cards, debit cards, electronic checks (ACH bank transfers), HSA cards, FSA cards, and HRA cards are accepted for pediatric memberships.   

Zelle, Venmo, Paypal,  HSA cards, FSA cards, and HRA cards are accepted for lactation visits. 

We accept HSA (health savings account), FSA (flexible spending account), and HRA (health reimbursement account) card payments similar to any other debit/credit card payment. You should also check with your employer's human resources department or personal accountant to confirm that membership payments are eligible.

For pediatric care, caregivers can choose to pay once per year, once every 6 months, or monthly. The annual and semi-annual payment includes a discount.

For lactation support, parents make a one-time payment for all lactation services at The Vine.   Parents also have the option to pay for an additional visits as needed.
