They only look at numbers. And we do more than prenatal care. But you're right, their emergence Medicaid only pays for delivery. We attempted to get her admitted today for a sono, version and induction if successful. No one would do it. It was recommened she be admitted for a scheduled section. It was relayed that she prefers to deliver vaginally. They know now, and she will just show up in labor, it was expressed that this was acceptable.

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.
