And how would they know if it is "on demand?" Do you have to get prior authorization for cesareans on Medicaid patients? When I bill for on demand sections, I use the ICD9 code: 669.71, Cesarean Delivery, Without Mention Of Indication, Delivered, With Or Without Mention Of Antepartum Condition; no insurances have questioned that diagnosis or refused payment.

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.
