In summary: what is your policy in that case? >> Make sure the clinic/hospital records in the hospital chart that the patient is a no-show. Then send a certified letter to the patient, telling her that she needs the surgery (for whatever diagnosis and whatever reason), maybe what the outcome MIGHT be if she DOESN'T have it, and state that it is your opinion she needs it... and her choice to NOT have it. Then, as much as you can be, you're covered as having done your duty. Joe P.

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.
