[Hiring] IBCLC, Telehealth Lactation Consultant @SimpliFed

Role Description

You'll see new and expecting parents by video for lactation and feeding visits: assessment, care planning, and ongoing support through their feeding journey. This is a lactation role and does not include prescribing. You'll work closely with our nurse practitioners, who handle breast pump orders and medications.

• Run prenatal and postpartum video visits covering feeding assessment, latch and positioning, milk supply, pumping and flange fit, supplementing, bottle feeding, formula transitions, and weaning.
• Build practical care plans around each family's own feeding goals.
• Screen for red flags (infant weight and hydration, parental pain or infection, postpartum mood) and escalate or refer per SimpliFed protocols.
• Hand off to our NP/APP team when a visit shows a need for a breast pump order or medication.
• Document every visit clearly and on time in our EHR.
• Follow families across multiple visits, not just one.

Qualifications

• Current IBCLC certification (IBLCE), in good standing.
• Available at least 15 hours a week. 20+ hours preferred.
• A private, quiet space for video visits, reliable high-speed internet, and a computer with a camera that meets our telehealth platform requirements.

Requirements

• The same days and times each week (fixed weekly blocks).
• 20+ hours a week, including evening or weekend blocks. We see families 8am to 10pm ET.
• Telehealth lactation experience, including prenatal and pump consults.
• An individual NPI and an active CAQH profile; current enrollment with major health plans.
• Bilingual in Spanish and English (or another language our families speak).
• Experience working alongside prescribers (NP or MD) in shared care.
• A Connecticut or Rhode Island lactation consultant license. Both states license lactation consultants; tell us if you hold either.

Benefits

• Hourly rates for 1099 contract roles, by regional market tier (based on where you live):
• Tier 1 (CA, NY, MA, NJ, HI, MD): $48–$53/hr
• Tier 2 (IL, CO, OR, VA, PA, AZ, MN): $42–$46/hr
• Tier 3 (NC, GA, FL, TX, TN, OH, MI, IN, SC, WI, MO, and states not listed): $38–$42/hr
• Tier 4 (MS, AR, WV, KY, OK, AL, LA): $34–$38/hr
• Part-time and full-time W2 roles are also available for clinicians who commit to more hours.

Company Description

SimpliFed is a virtual maternal health company. We start with feeding support (lactation care, pumping and supply help, and prescribing for breast pumps and related needs) and build from there into care across pregnancy and postpartum, including postpartum mood screening and connection to the right next level of care. Our clinicians see families by video across the U.S., working alongside health plans, health systems, and breast pump suppliers.

We believe the key to every happy, healthy baby is a happy, healthy parent.
