They do not charge the sonogram they do it for marketing. the patient is happy watching the baby every month. Can you believe it. You are right I will talk with the society about the (mal)practice.

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.
