I always write what I feel is indicated. If its not covered and the pharmacist can give me a similar alternative, I will change, but I'm not working for the insurance company, I'm working for the patient. Ronald E.

From Caremark, i got a big envelope containing three booklets marked "Primary Drug List", "Preferred Drug List", and "Performance Drug List". Inside the first two brochures are the following statements : "Your specific benefit plan design may not cover certain categories, regardless of their appearance in this document", and "The drug list is not inclusive nor does it guarantee coverage, but represents a summary of prescription coverage". This second statement is also on the back of the third brochure. I have no idea what any of it means, or how it is to be used, or why there are three different booklets from the same company. You know what? I don't care. I'm going home.

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.
