Have a question for all the hospital based LCs on the list. The
medical system that owns the hospital where I work is working on
developing system-wide lactation services. Currently none of the
hospitals charge for inpatient lactation consults, but there is a wide
variety of both patients and services in the 3 different hospitals
involved. Is there anyone who works for a hospital that does charge for
and usually gets reimbursement for inpatient consults? I am interested
in both large and small hospitals because these 3 hospitals vary in
delivery rates from 3500 to 10,000/year. I am not requesting the amount
of the charges, but if you include that please respond to me privately
so we don't break the rules.
TIA....Becky B. RNC IBCLC
