Would you please send a copy of the fee study. I am
presently in the process of setting up a LC program at
the hospital where I work along with 2 other people
and it is our goal in the future to begin to bill for
our service. This is so we can expand our services to
the outpt population and get payment for it since the
hospital will require this before they allow us to
expand.
Thanks J. Rutherford RN
