what is a CLC?
CLC certification means that a person has received training and

lactation support in your home
Jessica offers lactation support with in-home and virtual options.
Services include: Latch assessments, private and semi- private
breastfeeding classes, couples breastfeeding classes - corrective
actions for plugged ducts, milk supply issues, poor latch, and
more.
REIMBURSEMENT: Like many CLCs in the current insurance
climate, I don’t work directly with insurance. Fee is paid upfront.
Clients submit the superbill (a receipt of payment) to insurance for
reimbursement. Calling your insurance company in advance of the
visit, with Jessica’s NPI number, to see at what level your plan and
insurance company reimburses is advised.
