Re: Nuchal TranslucencyFrom: Orlando Ultrasound (orlandoultrasound@hotmail.com)Wed Dec 29 10:47:40 2004
The nuchal translucency, and nuchal fold ( age determinent ) are part of our normal protocol. I think most facilities have adopted this into standard procedure as part of the 76801 and 76811 Pregnancy exams. If there are abnormalities detected, I think most insurance companies allow for for follow-up ultrasound exams for further evaluation. Kevin Doug Marcum BA,RDMS,RDCS,RVT(APS)

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.
