How is everyone getting any reimbursement for donor milk for use with
premies in your nurseries?
 The scoop: We have always had a Neonatologist wanting to use mom's milk.
We finally have him convinced to use donor milk when mom's milk runs short.
But as our Director of Women's and Children's Services is seeing the bills
for it's use she is balking LOUDLY at signing the Purchase order for
another order. And she says she will not continue to allow it's ordering if
it is not being reimbursed for the patients it's billed to. Added to that
we have a new Neo that fills in occasionally that will not use it because
of the Guidelines for Perinatal Care doesn't recommend it and he will only
do "standardized care".

The director who controls the ordering monies is concerned only about the
almighty dollar of her budget, not the health reasons it's need for these
babies. So... It would help greatly if all you wise ones who've been doing
this a while could share some information about any kind of reimbursement.
(especially in the south or south carolina region). But we'd like to hear
for others too.

Thank-you in advance,
