Monique, Thank-you!
Now I know where the inconsistent understanding over self-referral comes from. I had not seen that article.
I wonder what made LLL change its direction on this issue? I have always felt my hands to be tied in this type of sitiation. I am glad to know that I have the flexibility to self-refer when appropriate.
If anyone can post a similar publication that covers the issue of liability coverage that is more clear than what I provided, I would be very grateful. In the mean time, I am going to assume that I was wrong about that, too.
At least now I know that if a LLL mom needs my expertise, I can offer it to her as an IBCLC. In the past I have had moms who found my name through LLL and wanted my services as an IBCLC whom I refused to charge or referred on due to my misunderstanding.
