First of all, thanks to everybody for their informative and helpful replies. I didn't think about it before, but now I wonder if her insurance company was actually paying her former doctor for every 3 week injections of depo-estradiol. After all, why would a managed care plan pay for this treatment when it is much cheaper to pay for an annual visit and oral or patch therapy? I'm sure I'll run in to her sometime in the future, and will ask her if she has ever had any problems with her insurance company. (Go figure--they won't pay *me* for a perineorrhapy because they consider it "cosmetic surgery" but will probably pay somebody else to give 16 shots of estradiol a year)! Ashley D.

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.
