I stopped doing postpartum tubals in '90 when the hospital told me that they weren't getting paid ANYTHING for the procedure (including OR fee, etc). I do them all as outpatient scopes at 6 weeks... Lynn

Recently the KY Blues informed we docs that if we do a Postpartum t/l on the same calendar day as the vaginal delivery, they will pay us as if it is a "second procedure" and not at the "full rate"

Comments?

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.
