August 26, 2012, slight changes to CPT coding on the LVR (Lactation Visit Receipt, a lactation superbill) have been made including adding the Preventative Medicine Counseling Codes (below) to the LVR. These are not significant enough for those presently using the LVR to re-order at this time. PLEASE continue to check back at my website for updates and changes. I'm NOW taking NEW and Upgrade orders. Please note if significant changes do occur anytime in the future and as a prior customer you want an updated LVR, you would have to pay Option # 3 to have it updated.
The profession of IBCLC is at a tipping point for recognition and credentialing with insurance companies. If you are not a member of ILCA/USLCA, you really need to be a member. Both to be informed of the latest news and changes regarding reimbursement of the IBCLCs services as well as to support the USLCA in their efforts. It really is worth the investment in the future of the profession of IBCLCs. USLCA is working hard to protect, promote and support the United States IBCLC profession.
Thank you, Pat Lindsey, IBCLC (posted 8/27/2012)

A note from Pat: I began my research into 3rd Party Reimbursement to design a superbill to meet my practice needs, I did a survey of about 30 LCs (most in private practice) to see what they thought was important in a lactation superbill. While doing the survey, there was so much interest in a new superbill with up-to-date coding that I was urged to make it available to others. This resulted in the Lactation Visit Receipt Packet. The LVR Packet has been reviewed by many of my peers and can be found in Linda Smith's book “The Lactation Consultant in Private Practice: The ABCs of Getting Started”, in Breastfeeding and Human Lactation, 3rd Edition, Jan Riordan, in ILCA's "Reimbursement Tool Kit" by Marsha Walker and in Medela's Messenger issue 20.1, 2003.
Use of the LVR does not guarantee reimbursement. This tool is used as a professional receipt for lactation service which is given to the consumer to file for insurance reimbursement, however, insurance reimbursement should never be guaranteed unless the provider has a contractual agreement with the consumer's insurance company and lactation are coved benefits on the consumer's insurance policy. The actual Lactation Visit Receipt is in a pdf so as many or as few copies as needed can be printed. You may want to print it out and take it to a printer such as Office Depot, Office Max or Staples for printing. The LVR is recommended to be printed in triplicate (office copy, client copy and copy to be filed with insurance company). In my practice I keep original copy and give client two copies so client can file for insurance reimbursement if they wish.

What others say about the LVR.....Voted in the top 5 Best Business Investments by 2003 Private Practice Lactation Consultant Conference
"Pat Lindsey's superbill is excellent !!!! ( thank you Pat ) and It is working. I am working part-time for a Family Practice doctor who does OB. I use Pat's superbill and fax it to this docs biller. It does take me 1-2 months to get payment, however. Pat's superbill has been one of my best investments as a professional Lactation Consultant." Star Siegfried,RN,BA,IBCLC 1 June 2002
"thank you so much for the superbill and forms. They are gold. : )" Diana West, IBCLC
"Hi Pat, I just wanted to let you know I got the CD. It was worth every penny! What a wealth of information you have put together. Excellent job. I have my own version of many of these as I have been in private practice for 16 years.
You really did an outstanding job. Thanks again."

PLEASE READ Before ordering:
A healthcare superbill is a professional receipt of services with the Current Procedural Terminology codes (CPT codes) and the International Classification of Diseases codes (ICD-9 codes). Professional healthcare providers use the superbill NOT to file insurance claims, but to give their clients a professional receipt of service. Most insurance companies require electronic claim filing from providers. The Lactation Visit Receipt can be used by the client to aid (not guarantee) in request
for insurance reimbursement from their medical insurance.
Insurance companies MUST have the healthcare providers mailing address (if you don't want to use your home address if you are doing home visits, you need to get a P.O. Box) and a phone number as well as your business National Provider Identification Number and a tax identification number (EIN) on the superbill to be considered for reimbursement. Insurance companies do NOT want emails or websites.
I am now recommending the Lactation Visit Receipt (superbill) to have an EIN, a NPI and the IBLCE-IBCLC number (if you are IBCLC).
If you do not have a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number as well as an Employee ID Number (EIN), you need to obtain these numbers. Both numbers can be applied for and obtained online without the help of an attorney or accountant. It usually only takes 1-3 days to get both.
1 - Employer ID Number (EIN) If you are a sole proprietor you might feel you don't qualify for an EIN based on what you read on the online page, but you really don't want to be using your social security number on the superbill. Healthcare insurance plans require EINs to process claims. You may apply online.
2 - National Provider Indentifier (NPI) - NEW REQUIREMENT FOR Healthcare providers to have a National Provider Identifier by MAY 23, 2007. USLCA highly encourages every IBCLC to have a NPI number and insurance company's require it to consider reimbursement on claims.
You may find out more and apply for NPI:
instructions for applying click at bottom of this page to start online application
Taxonomy codes to use in APPLYING for NPI are:
163WL0100X (for RN, IBCLC)
174N00000X (Lactation Consultant non-RN)

HHS proposes one-year delay of ICD-10 compliance date
On April 17, 2012 the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a proposed rule that would delay, from October 1, 2013 to October 1, 2014, the compliance date for the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10).
The ICD-10 compliance date change is part of a proposed rule that would adopt a standard for a unique health plan identifier (HPID), adopt a data element that would serve as an “other entity” identifier (OEID), and add a National Provider Identifier (NPI) requirement. The proposed rule was developed by the Office of E-Health Standards and Services (OESS) as part of its ongoing role, delegated by HHS, to establish standards for electronic health care transactions under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). OESS is part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
HHS proposes that covered entities must be in compliance with ICD-10 on October 1, 2014.
Check back from time to time to see when the Lactation Visit Receipt with ICD-10 will be available!
