<< complete fees - payable for ....and for providing services to mother and
child through 14 days after confinement ..and post natal exam at 6 weeks
i.e. nothing about home visits in these 2 weeks >>
The complete fee is payable for accepting the responsibility of care for
mother & baby if they are discharged from hosp in <48hr; a visit is not
necessary to claim the fee.
I do a single visit because I like seeing the other patient that I've been
looking after for 9/12, and because it brings the average age of my visit list
down!
<< and if the other one is on the list - no criticisms - the visit was
appreciated even though not medically necessary>>........my point exactly. The
long term relationship with the whole family benefits, and isn't that a major
part of GP.
