Hi,

I'm an RN, IBCLC in a hospital setting in Texas.  I'm the first IBCLC at the hospital and I see patients on an inpatient basis and an outpatient basis.  I'm wondering is there anyone that works in a hospital based setting but sees patient's on an outpatient basis, also?  I've been working with our revenue department but we can not get a clear answer whether or not medicaid will cover lactation services.  Does anyone know if medicaid will pay for outpatient services?  And if they do what code do you use?  I know every state varies, so if anyone from Texas knows anything, I would greatly appreciate any input.

Thank you,

Heather Hasara-Soape, RN-BSN, IBCLC
