Policies for Clients With Sana Benefits Insurance

Yes, Bayou City Breastfeeding is in-network with Sana Benefits. 

An in-network provider has a contract with your insurance company and agrees to provide services at a contracted rate, which is usually discounted.  An out of network provider does not have a contract with your insurance company and may charge any rate for their services.  Some plans cover out of network providers and other require you to see an in-network provider.

If we can't bill an insurer for either the parent or baby, you’ll need to pay a non-covered patient fee: $80 for the parent and $60 for the baby.  

If we can bill insurance for both patients,  you might also pay extra if the plan:

• Doesn't cover lactation visits billed to the baby's plan.
• Puts a cap on the number of visits and you've used them all up for either the baby or the parent.
• Adds copays, coinsurance, or deductibles to the baby’s claim.

Cancellation fees and travel fees for home visits are not billed to insurance. These are billed to the card on file within 24 hours of your appointment/ cancellation. 

We do not typically see non-coverage issues with Sana unless your insurance coverage has gone inactive. 

Sana Benefits is a "No Network Plan" which means you do not need referrals or preauthorization for our services. 

We require that all patients have a valid card on file to secure the booking of their initial visit. We will not schedule your appointment without having a valid card on file. 

* You are authorizing us to save the card on file and use it to process the following fees: 

• Late cancellation / no show fees
• Home Visit Travel Fee
• Copay/ Coinsurance / Deductible
• Non covered / denied services
• Non covered patient fee for mom or baby who does not have billable insurance
