Master OB/GYN Coding
Picture this: It's January 4, 2027-the first Monday of the new billing year. Your waiting room is buzzing, clinicians are moving from patient to patient, and your billing team is processing the first wave of postpartum and global OB claims.
Everything seems normal. Until the rejection notifications start trickling in. Then, they turn into a flood. Suddenly, your reliable maternity care revenue stream hits a wall. The codes your clinicians documented and your billers submitted for years are suddenly throwing invalid and missing modifier errors. The schedule is backed up, your team is stressed, and your practice's cash flow is taking an unexpected hit.
Why? Because while everyone was celebrating the new year, the guidelines for maternity care coding quietly shifted. And your practice wasn't ready.
Get ahead of the curve before the clock strikes midnight on December 31.
The biggest disruption to obstetric billing in over thirty years takes effect on January 1, 2027. The American Medical Association (AMA) is completely retiring the traditional global obstetric package. Familiar bundled codes are being permanently deleted. This shift changes attribution - how professional work is recognized and credited and creates an opportunity to report maternity care services in more detail. It will impact documentation, workflows, payer communication, revenue cycle management, and electronic health record templates. Obstetrical coding, billing, and clinical teams will need to be informed and ready to document and report these services properly.
If your clinic is not prepared for this transition, it faces immediate revenue drops and massive denial rates. This class gives you the tools, codes, and compliance strategies required to successfully navigate these historic changes.
The Core 2027 Maternity Changes You Must Master
- The Death of Global Bundling: Learn why 16+ global OB codes are being deleted and replaced with 12 new, highly granular codes.
- Four Distinct Phases of Care: Master the new structure that forces practices to separately track and bill Antepartum, Labor Management, Delivery, and Postpartum services.
- Shift to Encounter-Level E/M Billing: Discover how routine prenatal and postpartum visits will now be itemized using standard Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes paired with specific modifiers (like the TH modifier).
- Brand New Labor Management Codes: Understand how to calculate and report labor management by calendar day, specifically differentiating between straightforward and complex care.
- Payer Divergence & Compliance: Learn how to handle the administrative nightmare of commercial payers adopting the new CPT structure while CMS proposes its own complex maternity G-codes.
