Hi Lactnetters! I am a private practice LC who is looking to link up with a pediatric office in Tampa, Florida. I have not approached the doctor yet, and would appreciate any advice that LCs who work in doctor's offices may have to offer. Do you arrange a salary through the doctor or receive separate payments from mothers? Is it possible for the doctor to bill directly to insurance companies for consult fee? Unfortunately, the area is not a very enlightened one, even though the Tampa bay area has a population of approximately 1,000,000 people! I am trying my best to get myself out there, but it's tough to market in a tough area. Anyhow, any assistance would be helpful! Thanks!!! Debbie Albert
