Here is the wording from the Statute: The term "emergency medical condition" means: (B) With respect to a pregnant women [sic] who is having contractions: (i) That there is inadequate time to effect a safe transfer to another hospital before delivery, or (ii) That transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety of the woman or the unborn child. 1)(B), to deliver (including the placenta).(B) The term "stabilized" means, with respect to an emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(A), that no material deterioration of the condition is likely, within reasonable medical probability, to result from or occur during the transfer of the individual from a facility, or, with respect to an emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(B), that the woman has delivered (including the placenta).

For the hospital it may mean the loss of all medicaid and medicare reimbursement from the Fed Gov't. Have a nice day!! On 8 Jul 2002 at 14:15, freda wrote:

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.
