Currently, because we are a rural site, our clinic gets paid a little over $60 per prenatal visit, and the delivering doc gets a little under $1000 for the vaginal delivery. If the pt shows for a decent number of prenatal visits, the amount we collect starts to approach what the insurance companies are paying for a global fee at their heavily discounted rates. They used to pay us a GLOBAL fee of about $400, back when the government was paying $600 for a toilet seat on a military transport plane. I have no idea how much medicaid pays the hospital these days. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Mon, 8 Jul 2002, freda wrote: > >What would happen if a woman arrived at an American hospital if she >arrived at the hospital in labour with no insurance or money? > > What about if she just had medicaid? > >-- >Freda Seddon, RN, RM >Community Midwife >37 Chelwood Rd., Toronto, >Ontario M1K 2K5 >(416) 750-3100 fax 757-1562 > Next message: freda: "Re: American hospital procedure- early labour" Previous message: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "Re: American hospital procedure" In reply to: freda: "American hospital procedure" Next in thread: ATB28@aol.com: "Re: American hospital procedure"

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.
