California has a high risk pool, so she should be able to get insurance, though the rates will be higher. The rates are capped in the California pool though, so they won't be astronomical. -- Anna Meenan, MD At Tue, 13 Feb 2007, Joanne Bulley, MD wrote: > >I have a patient who had another gyn say she had adenomyosis by >ultrasound findings.

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.
