We recognize that appropriate lactation care for families is not available to everyone. Many in the U.S. are not able to afford the ever increasing costs of private insurance plans. And, many insurance plans do not cover lactation care, despite it being proven to be foundational for the health of both the baby and the parent. At AthensBorn, we offer The Green Bottle Sliding Scale to members of our community who are uninsured or on Medicaid plans in order to increase their access to this important care. Please choose the option that honestly describes your situation, understanding that there are a limited number of spaces each month for services offered at the middle and lower end of the scale.
