Federal court rules in favor of hospitals on Medicaid ruleFrom: Dean Huffman . (dean@thehuffpeople.net)Mon May 26 14:17:41 2008
.. Federal court rules in favor of hospitals on Medicaid rule On Friday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) violated a congressionally imposed, one-year moratorium by finalizing a Medicaid regulation on the same day that President Bush enacted the moratorium prohibiting any action related to the rule. The regulation, which would cut $5 billion in funding to safety net hospitals, must now be re-issued by CMS. The hospital community applauded the Court's ruling, but strongly urges Congress to complete its work on broadly supported legislation to extend the current Medicaid moratorium. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit, "Alameda County Medical Center v. The Honorable Michael O. Leavitt," include Alameda County Medical Center, the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems, the American Hospital Association, and the AAMC.

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.
