The birthcenter I work with gets a great deal from a nationally known lab at the price WE told them we would pay. The state tells us (since we are licensed midwives) what labs to do, and this is what we get on all women: CBC, Rubella titer, ABO and RH, antibody screen, UA, urine culture, HBSag, RPR. Though not required by the state we also do HIV and Hep C antibody. Our price from the lab is less than $40. We negotiated this. State requires pap and GC, so we do the pap, (cost $12.) and a GC/Ch DNA probe (less than $25.) There are plenty of labs around, they all want your business, make the account rep give you the price you like. Marguerite Epstein L.M. Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
