Hi all you lactnetters,
        I need some input and hope you can help.  I presented a proposal at
the hospital where I work to set up a pump rental station and to stock some
basic supplies for resale (sns's, shells, maybe pumps, lansinoh).  I
currently work that job about 12-14 hours a week seeing outpatients and
doing follow up calls.  The hospital does not charge for my services and I
am paid as a consultant (no contract).  I thought that this little income,
plus making my service available for a fee to women who deliver elsewhere
would offset the cost to the hospital for my time there.  I currently see
only women whi have had their babies at this hospital.  The administration
veto'ed the idea saying that the hospital is non profit and is unable to
develop a system to bill outpatients for this service.  Does anyone at a
hospital out there in Lactnetland (new vocab) have a procedure for billing
that they could share with me?
 Thanks-
