Laura, There is already a yahoo group for LCs in PP. I would join that group. You can also contact me privately if you wish as I am in PP in CT. Jennifer Tow, IBCLC, CT, USA Intuitive Parenting Network LLC Hello fellow lact net subscribers, I am an RN in CT and will be sitting for the IBLCE exam in 2009. I plan on starting a private practice as soon as I get certified and am so excited to do so. Unfortunately, I have little professional network to talk to. I already feel isolated before I've even begun.:( I feel completely prepared for the clinical challenges, however I need some preparation on the business aspect. There were many topics posted on lactnet, but are very outdated. Aren't there any PPLC's still out there? Can someone tell me what the average rates are for PPLC's today? Do you charge for telephone calls? What about initial visits and follow ups? I would like to start renting pumps, how about rental fees? Is anyone getting insurance reimbursement? What type of insurance is needed? Is there a "standard" care plan or super bill that is recommended? Would anyone like to start an email group with me? Please email me privately or post to forum. I look forward to hearing responses and hope to start back up the buzz on private practice discussions. Thank you, Laura Miller, RN *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
