Obviously one way around this is for the billing person to figure what each patient's responsibility is and require payment up front - do you do that? Lynn -- Lynn D.

Then you have to wait until they want to sell. A negative credit report from a hospital or physician's office does not negatively effect a credit rating. We do not accept checks. Period. Cash, credit cards or money orders.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
