You cannot bill for a fern done by a nurse, so I guess it comes down to a hospital decision. However, since most OB patients are DRG or flat rate, what you bill for is irrelevant ____________________=2Enet] On Behalf Of=0D=0Armodugno@aol=2Ecom=0D=0ASent: Tuesday, March 14, = rate, what you bill for is irrelevant ____________________2006 1:51 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: AmniSure ROM Test I believe it has more to do with billing than CLIA.

That is why our hospital's L&D staff now sends the slide to the lab to "officially" read it. The experienced nurses still use the microscope clandestinely, but for awhile it was completely removed until the docs revolted. Ronald E.

However, those of you who are sending ferns to lab can have the L&D nurses do the CLIA competency for fern rather than send it to the lab. ________________________________ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn=2Enet [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn=2Enet] On Behalf Of=0D=0Aainsron=0D=0A= ab. ________________________________ From: ob-gyn-Sent: Monday, March 13, 2006 6:36 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: RE: AmniSure ROM Test How "negotiable" is it, or are you at liberty to say?

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.
