Not using insurance, using a health-share plan, or unsure whether your plan applies? You can still submit the intake form, and our team will help route you to the right next step.
Have Cigna insurance?

Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover a lactation consultant in Houston?
Most health plans cover lactation support under the Affordable Care Act. We bill United Healthcare (all UHC plans), Aetna, Cigna (via Wildflower), Curative, and Sana Benefits, and also accept BCBS Texas, Multiplan, Tricare, and TLN Covered Plans. We verify your specific benefits — often the same day if you submit before 3 PM on a weekday.
Do you offer home visits inside the 610 Loop?
Yes. Our IBCLCs travel to homes across Inner Loop Houston — Upper Kirby, Montrose, River Oaks, West U, Rice Village, Bellaire, and surrounding neighborhoods. Home visits have a travel fee and are subject to limited availability — contact us for details.
Do you accept Cigna insurance?
Yes. We bill Cigna through Wildflower, our billing partner. If your Cigna benefits mention Wildflower as an in-network lactation provider, you’re in the right place.
How soon can I be seen?
Fast. We offer same-day benefits verification when you submit your intake before 3 PM on a weekday, and most families are scheduled within 3–5 business days. If you need urgent support — severe pain, latching crisis, or feeding worries in the first week postpartum — we offer virtual triage visits that can often be scheduled within 24–72 hours.
What’s the difference between an IBCLC and a CLC?
An IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) is the highest credential in lactation care — requiring health sciences education, 300–1,000 supervised clinical hours, and a board exam. All of our Houston lactation consultants are IBCLCs.
Do you do tongue tie evaluations in Houston?
Yes. We provide full tongue, lip, and buccal tie assessments. If release is indicated, we coordinate with trusted pediatric dentists and ENTs in the Houston area for the procedure, then support you with post-release feeding care.
Do you teach in-person childbirth or breast pump classes in Houston?
Yes. We offer a monthly in-person Prepared Childbirth Class taught by Jennifer Robert, BSN, RN, ICCE, IBCLC, and a monthly in-person Breast Pump Basics Class taught by Kathy Lenert, RN, IBCLC. Both are held at our Upper Kirby office.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Chiropractic care with Dr. Emily Eagan, DC (Mondays) and Dr. Chelsea Tyree, DC (Tuesdays and Thursdays) is self-pay — it is not billed through insurance — with payment due at the time of service. You can schedule chiropractic alongside a lactation visit for a streamlined appointment.
Can I see a lactation consultant before my baby is born?
Yes. Prenatal lactation consults and our in-person Prepared Childbirth Class give you the knowledge and plan to start strong. Prenatal visits are often covered by insurance.
