Does this practice get a kickback for all those unnecessary HCGs? Do they do them in the office and get to charge for all of them? They must not be in a capitated HMO. Even some insurance companies would see the big red flag of paying for many more HCGs than other comparable size practices! I agree with the others - you do them if you have reason to suspect there is still HCG producing tissue there (many ectopics / gestational trophoblastic disease / reason to think you did not get it all / etc).

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.
