If you bill a global, I don't think you can do anything other than code this as a problem-related E&M, and how you code it depends on the documentation. And if she never comes back to you, then you just have to bill out prenatal care.

I'd be more worried re getting in touch w/ your risk management department, though. Have you heard from her since? Hopefully the documentation was quite clear as to the midwives' recommendations.

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.
