Fellow Lactnetters, Had lunch with some colleagues today (thanks again, Lois!) and an interesting idea was raised: if all the LCs in town got together and formed a business and could contract out LC services: hospital, ped practices, home visits, private--whatever. ER docs and radiologists do this...why not LCs? I thought the idea intriguing and said that I'd ask a few hundred of my best friends for any input they might have! Ever hear of this? Anyone doing it? Any suggestions or cautions? How could we serve Medicaid moms in hospital (and get paid!) on a contract basis? Karen Zeretzke, MEd, IBCLC Baton Rouge, Louisiana
