Re: Coding-ER visitFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Fri Jan 18 10:22:48 2008
It's not six weeks. You own her for ninety days after a major surgery. Or should I say Medicare owns you? On the surgical side, I doubt you will find any gyn oncs in Alaska doing laparoscopic nodes. You have Nick Spirtos in Las Vegas now, don't you? He is a pioneer in the field. Ronald E.

AND what the heck are you doing it open for? Let's get on the laparoscopic bandwagon!!!! :-) Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG _____ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Glen Elrod Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 8:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Coding-ER visit A 75 yr old lady, postop day number 4 from a TAH/BSO and nodes for endometrial cancer presents to the ER with complaint of right hip pain. I happen to be close to the ER and I go ahead and see her rather than the ER doc. I would venture to say that I did an expanded problem focused HPI and exam and had straight forward medical decision making. Is the E/M code for seeing someone in the ER that of observation or is there another that I've missed? Or is this visit somehow tied up in the global package?

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.
