Re: Third Party Payor WoesFrom: David Nyberg (nyberg@u.washington.edu)Thu Feb 12 12:59:37 2004
The only important risk factor for having a fetal anomaly is pregnancy itself. What is medically indicated? The family history, personal history, maternal age, or lifestyle are of little help in otherwise identifying patients at risk. I'd be happy to testify for the plaintiff when a major fetal anomaly could have been detected but the patient was not given the basic right of a fetal anatomic survey. Between the cost of caring for a handicaped infant and the potential legal judgment against the insurance carrier, most carriers have determined that this is not a battle to fight. Add to that general patient dissatisfaction and I would guess that Tricare won't be around in 5 years or so to worry about. David On Thu, 12 Feb 2004, art fougner, md wrote:

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.
