Daniel: "Re: BTL in Pregnancy" Actually, in the great state of California the same 30 day wait applies to all patients, regardless of funding source (30 days from EDC or planned date of sterilization). With private insurance/private pay, we can waive the waiting period to 72 hours. Additionally, a "competent" person cannot give informed consent for sterilization within 24 hours after birth or after abortion. This applies to all elective sterilizations. >You can do it, you just can't get paid with Federal funds for doing it or >anything else that was done in the same hospitalization,if you do it. > >Dan > >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.
