We are in the same boat since HCFA has change the composition of the panels, we are looking at what test we really need to follow a pt with pre-eclampsia. this seams like a good way to get a consensus. If I give my lab a list of test they will make up the panel, however they have to charge for each test separately. It will save of writing Myer

As you know, Medicaid is forcing hospitals to drop lab panels such as "Chem20" and to institute specific panels, such as "electrolyte panel", etc.

I was wondering...

Does anybody have a "Preeclampsia Panel" of lab work? Such a panel might have SGOT, SGPT, uric acid, etc.

If anybody has such a lab panel or protocol at their hospital, or if anybody would like to suggest such a panel, I would appreciate hearing from them.

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.
