The insurer in this case is likely living up to the provisions of the contract as written. *You* are asking for deviations from traditional law: you want people unhappy with their contract to be able to sue, after they have agreed to the contract and the contract has not been violated! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Paul, Minnesota "There is no evidence in the Bible that, when Cain killed Abel with a rock, God even considered banning rocks." -- Massad Ayoob Next message: art fougner, md: "Re: Managed care and lawsuits (long)" Previous message: Ashraf Abuali: "ART COURSES& DEGREES"

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.
