📣Wisconsin WIC has updated information about using referral data to complete a remote appointment.
"For WIC participants to receive remote services, healthcare providers would need to supply WIC offices or participants with height and weight data taken no more than 60 days prior, and hemoglobin measurements taken within the last 12 months."
To use information from a provider to complete a post partum certification, the bloodwork would need to be completed after delivery.
