Robert:

We recently acquired the technological means to verify whether there were sufficient funds in the account on which the check was written BEFORE the patient is seen for care that office visit (ideally) but certainly before she leaves the office.

There is a special checking account verification modem analogous to the card swiper we use to instantly verify whether a Georgia Medicaid card we are presented is valid. I believe many retail businesses who accept checks have a similar device.

Have your office manager call my office manager, Janet Rosser, at 770-383-8111 to get the details.

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.
