This may affect salary, access to bonuses and scribes, as well as staffing resources for the clinic. UCSF Health will now offer lactation support to lactating physicians, trainees, and Advanced Practice Providers who work at UCSF Health sites and are returning from childbearing leave, allowing them to schedule one reimbursed lactation hold per half-day clinic session for up to a year after the birth of a child. For physicians paid on a productivity model, each lactation hold, regardless of duration, is reimbursed as a set amount of wRVU—equivalent to CPT code 99214 (currently 1.92 wRVU). Funds will be provided quarterly to the clinician’s home department for disbursement of funds to the clinician. For APPs who rely on a wRVU target, their lactation wRVUs can be added to their annual wRVU totals.Please see the Lactation Credit FAQs for more information.
