Expert Help for Complex Feeding Challenges
Dr. Schecter is both a physician and an IBCLC. She offers thorough, medical-level care that goes beyond typical lactation support. At Breastfeeding Medicine of NJ, we treat the parent–baby team together to get to the root of feeding challenges.

Insurance & Fees
We want feeding support to be easily accessible, not confusing. Here’s what you should know before you book:
✅ In-Network with Aetna & Meritain
We are currently in-network with Aetna and Meritain (managed by Aetna). If you have private Aetna coverage, your visit should be fully covered, but there may be a patient responsibility (copay, coinsurance, and/or deductible) applied by your plan.
✅ All Other Insurance: Self-Pay + Reimbursement Option
If you have a different insurer, you’ll pay at the time of your visit. But don’t worry: we’ll provide a detailed claim and receipt, which you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Many families receive partial or full reimbursement this way. Please contact your insurance company directly to learn about your plan's out of network benefits.
