Ultrasound Reimbursement

I am an employed OB/GYN physician and I am having a small dispute with my employer about reimbursement for reading OB and GYN US. We have our own technician in the office that performs the scans and we read them at a later time if she doesn't see anything concerning. We are reimbursed a single fee for both the technical and professional components together.

What are resonable fees for the interpretation portion of the ultrasounds? What are the best ways to determine these? Where can I find examples of them?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Josh

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.
