I didn't think > so, but need documentation, if avialable. She's not infertile. If your diagnosis is now habitual aborter, her previous successful pregnancies do not change that diagnosis. ICD-9CM code 629.9 codes for "Aborter, habitual, without current pregnancy". This is not in the 628.X infertility series. Mac

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.
