Once pre-approval has been received your appointment may be scheduled. If you do not receive pre-approval you have the option to schedule your appointment as a cash-pay patient (see below).
​
A convenience fee will apply for in-home consultations to cover travel time and costs that are not covered by insurance. Please contact lisa@southbaybabycare.com for more information releated to services provided utilizing TLN.
Any questions relating to insurance should be addressed with TLN at care@tln.care.
Self-pay + Superbill
For patients that do not qualify for coverage through TLN, I offer cash-pay services that may be insurance reimbursable. I am a CMS recognized provider and I have CPT and ICD-10 codes for RN & IBCLC services provided for educational and care services related to perinatal, newborn and breastfeeding/lactation visits. Upon request I can supply you with a superbill once your services have been paid in full and you can submit the superbill to your insurance to request reimbursement. South Bay Baby Care is out-of-network with all insurance providers. I cannot guarantee insurance reimbursement. If your insurance company denies payment I am happy to provide an appeal letter to be submitted. Service fees are due at the time that services are rendered.
If you would like to contact your insurance in advance to determine if services with South Bay Baby Care are reimbursable and what your policy's reimbursement rate it is, you may need to provide the following information:

Insurance coverage related to Before Baby Prenatal Education Consultations is plan-specific. Please contact the member benefits number on the back of your insurance card to determine if your plan may reimburse for these services. Some insurance companies or plans may require pre-approval or authorization for partial or full reimbursement. I am happy to complete pre-approval paperwork as required by your policy.
​
HSA or FSA reimbursement
I am a CMS recognized provider and I have CPT and ICD-10 codes for RN & IBCLC services provided for educational and care services related to perinatal, newborn and breastfeeding/lactation visits. Upon request I can supply you with a superbill once your services have been paid in full and you can submit the superbill to your HSA or FSA plan to request reimbursement. I cannot guarantee reimbursement as each plan is different; however, the majority of my clients have not had issues with HSA or FSA reimbursement for RN services covering perinatal, newborn and lactation/infant feeding consultations.
