I wonder why your area gets reimbursed?  I have been unable to get
reimbursement from them since last year.  They emphatically say no
reimbursement for electric pump rental- even if baby in NICU.  Could you
share some infor on how you bill and what you use for reason?  Do you
have to call them for an authorization #?  TIA for the info.
