Triple screening in CaliforniaFrom: Joseph A Worrall (jworrall@alaska.net)Wed Aug 12 10:00:07 1998
To Onebornjoy: I hope someone from California will answer this. It is my understanding (and I may be wrong) that there is a law in the State of California that requires that all pregnant women have serum testing for aneuploidy +ACY- NTD during their pregnancy. This has been in effect for a number of years, and thus there is a good deal of data available. I believe the labs that do the serum testing have to be certified by the State of California, there are prescribed protocols for followup of results. I seems to me I heard somewhere that when ultrasound is part of the protocols, that only certain ultrasound labs can be used. We also have laws that require testing of newborns for phenylketoneuria, and we have laws that require treatment of newborns eyes to prevent neonatal ophthalmia, etc. I guess you could argue that any law passed to protect the public health is an invasion of someone's rights.

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.
