If it was a lack of Medicaid papers and the patient had in the hospital signed a surgical consent, then the only reason for not doing the procedure was fear of not being paid. That is after all the only reason for the Medicaid papers (If you ain't got em, you don't get paid). If the Medicaid papers had been signed and were not available at the hospital because the Doctors office staff failed in thieir duty to get them there, then there might be a valid indication for a suit. Not having the signed Medicaid papers is not a violation of federal law. Not having them AND getting paid by the Federal Government is a violation of Federal law. Although they are labelled consent forms, their only real purpose is for getting paid. Dan

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.
