Re: cost of 'no shows' From: Joanne Bulley, MD (islesannie@yahoo.com) Tue May 25 20:18:02 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Don Miller: "Re: cost of 'no shows'" Previous message: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "Re: coordinated STD treatments" In reply to: Theresa333@aol.com: "cost of "no shows"" Next in thread: Don Miller: "Re: cost of 'no shows'" Not in my office, it doesn't! The charts are right nest to the office manager's desk - she can pull the chart when the patient calls. All charts are already pulled for the day - so you don't have to pull any charts for no-shows - they are already pulled!

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.
