cesarean on demandFrom: Lynn D. Montgomery, M.D. (apgar10@montanadsl.net)Fri Dec 30 09:42:24 2005
Thank you for all the responses, but there is a major point being missed. In Montana, as a Medicaid participant, I am not allowed to balance bill anything. Reimbursement for pregnancy is global, therefore given they will not pay for an unindicated procedure, they will pay for a standard prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care. If the patient comes in within 30 days of her delivery date - particularly when she comes in in labor, I have to take care of her and cannot dismiss her. As such, I am stuck doing a cesarean and not getting paid for it. Lynn

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.
