Billing/insurance:

At this time, Pura Vida Lactation does not participate in or submit directly to any insurance plans. This allows us to provide a customized therapy plan that is in the child's best interest rather than having coverage determined by a third party. I can provide you with a Superbill for submission to your insurance for possible reimbursement
