Hello!

I’m hoping those of you that provide banked donor milk in your hospitals might 
share how the purchase and charging for the milk is handled. In our NICU we 
are going to begin having donor milk on hand from the milk bank. We are 
planning to purchase the milk with a purchase order, but the question that has 
been raised is whether to charge the individual patient for the milk by a line 
item charge or to include it in the overall room fee in which every patient then 
shares in the cost as other food and nutrition is charged.  Please let me know 
what your hospitals do.  Our finance dept. is looking at going toward the room 
fee route.

Tammi Martin RN, IBCLC
