I would think a "bonding scan" would be more beneficial in the long run than the usual (often) "Medicaid scans" which are done for "high risk" criteria, but coincidentally just as many as Medicaid will allow, no more, no less.

I think the old lawyer's adage, "follow the money," will answer the question for you. If it's really not "dangerous," and I think we all have to agree it's really not, comparatively speaking, then who is objecting, and WHY?

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.
