In addition to being an IBCLC, Jackie is a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and licensed as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in Kentucky and Tennessee. This means our clinic is a "one-stop shop" for you and your baby's lactation care. We can provide you with expert lactation care, evaluate medical issues to include ordering laboratory or radiological tests (like an Ultrasound), diagnose medical problems, and prescribe treatment for those problems. We will work with your OBGYN/Midwife, Primary Care Provider, and Pediatrician to ensure you and your baby receive the best care possible.

There are many different credentials among lactation care providers. This can be confusing for patients and medical professionals. The wide range of certifications provide a wide net of breastfeeding support for families. Working together we can all help families to accomplish their goals. There are three tiers of lactation care providers in the U.S. 1. Registered Lactation Consultants (RLC) are most commonly referred to as Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants or IBCLCs. Certificants have demonstrated specialized knowledge and clinical expertise in breastfeeding and human lactation and are certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® (IBLCE®). 2. Lactation Counselors/Educators are trained to provide breastfeeding education and general support for routine breastfeeding concerns. 3. Peer Counselor/Support provide breastfeeding information, encouragement, and support to families in their community and have invaluable personal experience with breastfeeding/chestfeeding such as La Leche League Leader (volunteer) or a WIC Peer Counselor.

Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are an increasingly common health condition that often goes untreated or undertreated. Postpartum depression help has historically been hard to find. There are real consequences to untreated PMADs for parents and children. Your mental health is important to The Knapp Clinic. We screen every patient for Anxiety and Depression at the initial visit and follow up visits as needed. We will work with you and your healthcare team to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

The Knapp Clinic participates in the Center Care Provider Network to include the following plans: Kentucky Medicaid plans including Humana, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna Better Health, Passport by Molina, and United Healthcare Community Plan. Tennessee Medicaid by Wellpoint (formerly Amerigroup.)

You are responsible to know your insurance coverage and benefits before your scheduled visit. Use of insurance does not guarantee full coverage of services. If your medical insurance plan has a deductible that has not yet been met, copays, or coinsurance requirements for services you will receive a bill for those amounts determined by your insurance policy. We are currently not in-network with Tricare, United Healthcare Dept of Veterans Affairs Community Care Network (UHCVA CCN), or Medicare.

If you have a deductible that has not been met, copays, or coinsurance then you will be required to pay your portion at the time services are provided. For the exact rate and to know what you might be responsible for, please call your insurer directly. ​ When we are working with both an infant and mother/ lactating parent we complete a full office visit for both infant and parent and bill accordingly. We are a medical clinic and will bill insurance on behalf of the infant and mother/lactating parent. Please note two claims will be submitted to insurance and both claims will be subject to deductible, coinsurance, and applicable copays.

If we are in network with your health insurance plan we are required to bill your insurance first and we cannot accept cash payments beyond applicable copays. If you have a Medi-share or Healthshare plan like Zion Healthshare, Liberty Healthshare, or Christian Healthshare Ministries. Payments are due at the time services are rendered. Please review the information under the FAQ section titled: What billing codes should I ask my insurance about for coverage? for cash pay prices. If we are not in network with your insurance company and you would like to pay cash for our services we offer a 20% discount for those patients. We will bill out of network insurance plans, but you will be responsible for all fees determined by your policy once the claim is processed.
