Avoid Unnecessary Tests and Save Money!
The Science of Medicine changes quickly. We are still discovering new and novel treatments for old diseases and new diseases continue to emerge. This can make it hard for Doctors and Patients to keep up with the latest developments
Consequently, there are many doctors who still performing TESTS and PROCEDURES that have limited if ANY benefit for patients. These tests and procedures can cost the patient’s time and money and in some cases may even have the potential to harm a patient.
The CHOOSE WISELY campaign is sponsored by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), one of the leading medical societies in the United States. It is meant to educate Doctors and Patients to avoid harm and unnecessary spending.
The following document was produced by the ABIM and the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. It outlines tests typically done in the past for patients having a hard time getting pregnant. We now know that these tests and procedures DO NOT improve a woman’s CHANCE OF PREGNANCY, are COSTLY and can HARM a patient.
