Families are encouraged to inquire during pregnancy so care can be planned for your baby’s first days at home. Newborn visits are typically scheduled within 1–2 days of coming home, based on your baby’s individual needs. Your appointment date is finalized once baby arrives.

Lumené brings newborn care directly to your home during the first days after birth—when getting everyone packed up and out the door can feel like one more thing.
Your baby receives a comprehensive newborn assessment from a board-certified pediatric nurse practitioner, including a physical exam, weight and feeding assessment, and personalized guidance, with time to ask the questions that often come up once you’re home with your baby.
It’s thoughtful, unhurried care designed around your newborn—and a little more space for your family to settle in, recover, and adjust at home.

Parents may request a visit summary and superbill following their visit. The superbill may be submitted to your insurance plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies by individual plan.
