FROM: Sturgess, Frances Coulter TO:[log in to unmask] SUBJECT: Sandy Arrowsmith DATE: 03-05-97 19:48 EST PRIORITY: I was overwhelmed by #s until I divided births by #IBCLC/CLE s. Our county hospital has about 10% of your numbers (110 a mo) so I guess we would qualify for 3.5 LCs to cover. I think we are a bit short, though not short of interested parties (they have filed Intent for Baby Friendly, and are working on it...). Any thoughts of doing some sort of Postpartum survey to see how long women continue and where they take their problems? MediCal (Medicaid) pays for licensed folks to do home visits so in Theory we can bill for LCs if they are RNs--have yet to see any billing though. Do your postpartums get home visits?
