OB/GYN Billing & Coding Services

OB/GYN billing and coding requires specialized expertise due to complex maternity care workflows, global obstetric packages, and evolving coding guidelines. Billing for OB/GYN services often involves a combination of surgical procedures, prenatal and postpartum care, preventive screenings, and diagnostic testing — accurate coding and documentation are essential for appropriate reimbursement and compliance.

The Complexity of OB/GYN Billing

MBW RCM demonstrates specialty expertise across several OB/GYN subspecialties and procedures, including:

  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility
  • Urogynecology & Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
  • Advanced Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery
  • Family Planning Services
  • Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology
  • Menopausal & Geriatric Gynecology

Global Obstetric Packages & Coverage Verification

Many maternity services are billed using global obstetric packages that include prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care — understanding which services fall inside versus outside that package is essential for accurate billing. Pregnancy coverage often extends across inpatient and outpatient services, and certain procedures performed during the global period may still be billed separately.

Global obstetric packages: Identifying which prenatal, delivery, and postpartum services are bundled versus separately billable.

Coverage verification: Confirming pregnancy-related coverage across inpatient and outpatient settings.

Documentation requirements: Detailed clinical documentation to support surgical and maternity procedures.

Modifier usage: Correct application of CPT modifiers to distinguish same-encounter procedures.

Surgical coding: Accurate CPT assignment for laparoscopic and other gynecologic surgical procedures.

MBW RCM brings specialty-focused expertise to OB/GYN billing — accurate global obstetric package coding, surgical and maternity documentation review, and denial prevention that has recovered claims like a $21K denial for one OB/GYN practice.
