The  Lactation  Visit  Receipt  Packet
The LVR Packet is INTENDED for use by IBCLCs, doctors, nurse practitioners or other health care providers.
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant ( IBCLC ) is the Gold Standard in lactation consulting.

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.
A major revision of the Lactation Visit Receipt Packet was completed on June 10, 2006.  It can be Ordered On-line or order by Mail In Order Form (PDF).  
The complete packet is now available on CD-R or it can be attached e-mailed in a zip file. 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).

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
