OB/GYN Billing & Coding Services

Obstetrics Gynecology is a branch of medicine specializing in women’s care during pregnancy and childbirth and diagnosing and treating female reproductive organs’ diseases. It also specializes in other women’s health issues, such as menopause, hormone problems, contraception (birth control), and infertility.

An OB/Gyn practice does various procedures ranging from surgeries, pre postpartum healthcare, and regular health screenings for women.

Complexities in OB/GYN billing

Ob/GYN billing coding can be challenging to most billers coders due to the global claims, widely varying coverage terms, and multiple tests performed at numerous facilities. Apart from this, many OB/GYN practitioners lack the billing support provided to large hospitals. Here are a few standard billing coding errors that occur in OB/GYN billing coding:

  • Overlooking separately billable services rendered during the global period

  • Lack of understanding that pregnancy coverage is an amendment to an existing insurance plan

  • Pregnancy coverage includes inpatient outpatient services and is split between them.

  • Improper documentation of the policies services provided

  • It requires a clear understanding of the criterion that determines the “medical necessity” to code for the various levels of ground and air ambulance services used.

  • Understanding that all laparoscopic OB/GYN surgical procedures involve diagnostic laparoscopy
