I think as long as you have a policy posted that no shows will be billed - then you can bill them... So far I haven't - but there are a few patients that have been told (when they call to re-schedule) that they will be billed if they no show again... I don't think wwe have had to invoke it.

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.
