They give you thousands of dollars a year to get annual check-ups (e.g. chest x-rays) to make sure you aren't developing cancer. In this case, I guess the extension of logic could be ultrasounds of the ovaries and CA-125s, etc, every so often.

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.
