Re: OB: First Trimester Screening From: art fougner, md (evsono@pipeline.com) Tue Aug 10 13:54:20 1999 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: guy venezia: "factor V" Previous message: Roberta Speyer: "OBGYN.net's Menopause/Perimenopause Special Section August" In reply to: Garry E. Siegel, M.D.: "OB: First Trimester Screening" definitely NOT standard of care and technically trickier than it sounds. also, it's not totally clear whether to then perform standard down's serum screening in second trimester if first trimester screen is normal. patients should be informed prior to the test that insurance companies may very well NOT reimburse follow-up invasive prenatal diagnostic testing should the NT suggest increased risk. stay tuned.

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.
