Daniel: "Re: Postmenopausal Bleeding" Next in thread: Joanne Bulley: "Re: Postmenopausal Bleeding" Reply: Joanne Bulley: "Re: Postmenopausal Bleeding" this is what is totally wrong with all the coding crapola. what is needed is an evaluation of the pelvis - the views should be obtained sufficient to arrive at a conclusion by the optimal route. all these codes, modifiers, etc confuse the issue. Dan - what's wrong with only ordering one route is that if the pathology can only be demonstrated by the alternate view - the one you did not order - you've accomplished little and are encouraging only an unnecessary return trip at best or a missed diagnosis at worse. recent events on the list underscore the fact that the current system is critically flawed. art At Mon, 25 Sep 2000, Braun, 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.
