I travel to homes within a 30-mile drive of downtown State College with no additional travel fee. This includes State College, Bellefont, Boalsburg, Port Matilda, Pine Grove Mills, Centre Hall, Pleasant Gap, Spring Mills, Pennsylvania Furnace, Millheim, Philipsburg, Alexandria, Lewistown and more.

For homes further than 30 miles from downtown State College, I charge a one-time $50 travel fee.

Yes, of course! I have seen many clients 100% virtually and it is a wonderful alternative to in-person visits. Virtual visits are very effective.

Of course! In fact, if you want your partner present, it is encouraged to have them there to assist and learn right along side you. Other family or friends are also welcome to be there, as long as you are comfortable and give your permission.

I love cats and dogs, however, I ask that all animals be kept in a separate room from where the visit will take place. This is for a number of reasons, including: I often use a sensitive infant scale on the floor and do not want animals stepping on it by mistake; I am allergic to cats and dogs, and so avoiding direct contact with pets is helpful (but please don't stress about this- you don't have to do a deep clean or anything like that before I arrive! It's no big deal if an animal does need to be with you during the visit.). Thank you for your cooperation!

I know babies don't typically have feeding schedules and can sometimes be very unpredictable. Since visits are usually most beneficial when we can do a feeding together, I encourage you to try and wait to feed your baby until the visit, offering small amounts of milk to soothe a hungry baby if needed. If it has been more than an hour since the baby has eaten, we can usually coax a baby into latching, even if only for a small feeding. Try to avoid giving the baby a full feed right before I arrive, when possible. But just do your best! We can have a very helpful visit either way.

Depending on the nature of your current difficulties, we may be able to adequately cover the situation in one visit. However, it can be beneficial to schedule multiple visits if more than one baby is have feeding difficulties, to ensure adequate time is given to each baby's assessment and care plan. Please contact me and we can discuss what will be best for your specific situation.

Texting is often the fastest way to reach me. You can call/text me at (814) 826-3515. I will respond within 24 hours for all scheduling needs. For questions and concerns outside of scheduling, please email me.

Contact me. I ask 24 hours notice for any schedule change requests or cancellations. A $25 cancellation fee may apply for visits cancelled under 24 hours. In some cases, we may be able to still keep the visit, but do it virtually, rather than in person.

I offer lactation visits on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Visit times vary, depending on location and duration. Text me to see my current availability! (814) 826-3515

And please reach out if you need special scheduling accommodations.

Contact me. If you are well enough to switch to a virtual visit, I'm happy to still meet with you virtually! Virtual visits are incredibly effective and are a great alternative to an in-person visit. Otherwise we will reschedule. A late cancellation fee of $25 may apply.

This is entirely up to you and can be at any time during your pregnancy. Many parents find they like to learn more about breastfeeding during their second and third trimesters, and between 20-34 weeks is wonderful, as it still gives you some time to continue learning and preparing on your own after our visit.

If your insurance is approved before the visit than it should be covered, usually in full, but sometimes there is a copay. We can discuss this before scheduling.

If your plan is not accepted, payment is due in full at the beginning of the visit. I will then give you a superbill you can submit to your insurance to request reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.

A one-on-one prenatal visit is a wonderful way to get individualized information and can guide your preparations. It also provides a time for you to ask all your questions regarding breastfeeding before the baby arrives. While it is not a comprehensive breastfeeding class, as it is only an hour long, it can help you get off to a great start! All the knowledge about breastfeeding that you can learn before giving birth is incredibly helpful and can make for a smoother transition.

It is also nice to establish a relationship before your baby arrives, and makes any postpartum visits all the better!

Here is my payment policy in full:

Payment

Payment is due in full at the start of the visit, unless previously notified. For telehealth visits, an invoice will be sent to you, to be paid at the start of the visit electronically. I accept payment by credit/debit card, HSA/FSA card, or Apply Pay. For in-person visits, I also accept checks (made out to Jamie Gettys). Client is responsible for all charges associated with the visit.

Late Cancellation Fee

Visits must be canceled/rescheduled with 24 hours notice to avoid a late cancellation fee. If visits are canceled with less than 24 hours notice, you may be required to pay a fee of $25.

Travel Fee

A travel fee is required for visits outside of my normal service radius. This fee is only required for the first in-person visit. The travel fee is $50, to be paid at the time of visit. I will notify you of this fee at the time of booking your home visit appointment.

Superbill

Upon request, I will provide clients with a superbill after the visit detailing the services provided. Clients can request reimbursement from their health insurance companies if desired. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. Client is still responsible to submit full payment at the start of the visit.

No. Visits within 30 miles from downtown State College require no travel fee.

The Lactation Network will never bill you, and if your insurance was accepted by them, your visits will be free to you. What you received is likely an Explanation of Benefits, or EOB. It shows what the visits cost, what insurance paid out, etc. It is not a bill, and no action is required on your end.
