Abstract

Fellows of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists may choose to limit the scope of their practices to gynecology. The College considers early pregnancy care (often up to 12-14 weeks of gestation) to be within the scope of gynecology and gynecologic practice. Liability insurers who provide coverage for "gynecology-only" practices should provide coverage for clinical practice activities that involve the management of early pregnancy and its complications.
