Re: hysteroscopic sterilization From: Larry Glazerman (l.glazerman@rcn.com) Thu Feb 1 07:38:26 2007 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: DoctorJoe@aol.com: "Re: Ob:  Preterm labor" Previous message: Elrod, Darryl G Maj 48 MDOS/SGOBO: "Re: Uterine-Artery Embolization versus Surgery for Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids" The cost for Essure, performed in an office setting, is about half of the cost of laparoscopic tubal sterilization in an operating room. I'm reimbursed an average of about $2000 (including the cost of the device). Laparoscopic tubal in the hospital easily costs $4-5000 or more. -- Larry R.

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.
