I know what you are speaking of. I work at state run hospital that is also a teaching facility. We have had a lot of admits due to shortened cervix. I have one now with a CL of 0.6cm and medicaid has denied her stay. Nothing is being done but the usual daily NST's. My doctors are insisting that she must stay until she is 34 wks. I was no the internet tonight trying to find more information on the reasoning behind this. I have not found anything to support the los. I have had one that has been in the hospital over a month. I need something to to defend the stay or to explain to the Doc's why they will not meet criteria.
