I agree with Lynn. Bob Carpenter for sure, as well as Brian Kirshon if Bob is only consulting now that he has his law degree. Also, the perinatal group at UT Houston is very good (Joan Mastrobatista, et al) and Ken Moise just came back to Baylor as I was leaving. Overall, Houston is a great place for high risk OB

Andrew,

Bob Carpenter if he is still doing MFM since he got his JD. Also, Brian Kirshon took care of the woman with octuplets about 7 years ago in Houston.

Calling all Hands

Just received a call from friend (non physician) in Houston. Coulple lated 20s at his chruch with infertility. Got the "shots" etc now of course they have 5 in utero embryos ALL with good heart beats at about 12 weeks. needless to say recommendation from specialists etc is for "embryo reduction". Intellectually they understand it is the "right" thing to do; emotionally they just can not do it. Someone on the list was from Houston (I thought it Richard??) Who do I refer them to in terms of MFM specialist High risk hospital to call etc. Other ideas??? thanks andrew

In this case, it would be a postop visit and covered in your surgical fee.

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?

Thanks,

Glen
