Sometimes, Doctors Are Little Guys, Too

The American Lawyer

After a six-year journey, a suit claiming that managed care companies have systematically underpaid doctors by rigging software will soon go before a mock jury. Attorney Joe Whatley sees the case as an example of little guys standing up to large buyers' financial clout, adding, "It's very important to advance the rights of people who rely on somebody to get paid." Whatley estimates that managed care companies have saved at least $10 billion by shortchanging doctors since 1990.

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.
