Thus, I'm doing digital rectal exams on anyone 50 YO or higher, and doing an on the spot hemoccult. If they are higher risk, then I drop the age down. I realize that digital hemoccult isn't as good as home hemoccult, but it beats nothing (I suppose). What do others do? BTW, is the charge for a hemoocult reimbursed separately from the CPT for a Women's Wellness exam? Jay, what does BC/BS do? Garry

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.
