Bill #1 and likely the insurance company will downgrade to #2. Include your notes as to why the scope was needed.....it made sense as it helped determine your surgical route TVH vs TAH, and saved the lady an abdominal incision and longer recovery time, let alone hospital time.

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.
