Hello All-
I just took a new job at our local level III hospital as part of the
lactation team.  Within a week of being hired, I learned that our
organization will soon be starting an outpatient lactation program.  The
program will utilize the same staff that currently does inpatient LC care.
We have lots of questions:
*       how to register clients as outpatients who will be seen in an
inpatient setting
*       protocols for outpatient lactation
*       billing, of course
*       see all babies, or only up to a certain age?
*       do moms self-refer or do they need referral from a doctor?

Please reply to me privately as well as posting to the list. And thanks for
your help!
