01Two halves, two rulebooks
The OB/GYN coding that makes or breaks your margin
OB/GYN is really two specialties sharing one tax ID, and each one is paid in a way that trips up general billers.
Half 01 · Obstetric
Nine months collapse into one code
Prenatal care, a delivery, and postpartum recovery bundle into a single global maternity code billed once after birth.
One ticket, the biggest you bill
Half 02 · Gynecologic
Six services, six rule sets
A well-woman visit, a same-day problem, a contraceptive device, a colposcopy, and a hysterectomy each answer to a different set of preventive, screening, and global-surgery rules.
Every line on its own rulebook
Get either half wrong and the money leaks quietly, one unbundled visit or one defective consent form at a time. Here is what we manage on every claim so it is paid to its true value — nothing bundled away, nothing left uncaptured, nothing billed in a way that invites a recoupment. Code families are noted for precision:

What we manage
The global maternity package
Routine antepartum care + delivery + postpartum bundled into one code (59400 vaginal / 59510 cesarean / 59610 VBAC / 59618) billed once after delivery
Global-or-components decision on every episode, correct delivery route, and the separately billable carve-outs captured without double-billing
Split & transferred maternity care
Component codes when the group didn't provide the full continuum
Antepartum-only (59425/59426), delivery-only (59409/59514/59612), and postpartum-only (59430) coded to the visits and stages actually rendered
OB diagnostics & high-risk work
Ultrasounds, testing, and antenatal procedures outside the global
Ultrasound family (76801–76817) with the professional/technical split, plus NST (59025), amniocentesis, and BPP billed to documented indication
Well-woman & the same-day problem
Preventive E/M plus a separately significant problem visit
Age-banded preventive codes, Medicare's screening pathway (G0101/Q0091), and modifier 25 applied only when a distinct problem is documented
Contraception & the device supply
Insertion/removal procedure plus the device billed separately
IUD/implant procedures with the correct quarterly HCPCS device J-code and the contraceptive-management diagnosis that triggers ACA $0 cost-share
GYN procedures & surgery
In-office procedures and OR cases under the global surgical package
Colposcopy, LEEP, hysteroscopy, and hysterectomy coded with the correct global period and post-op modifiers (24/58/78/79)

02Before a takeback, not after
Where OB/GYN claims leak revenue
Most women's-health losses trace back to the same handful of failure points, and each one is preventable before submission rather than argued after a takeback. We close every one at the front end, before it becomes a denial or a recoupment. Procedure and coverage codes are noted for precision:
Issue
#1 OB audit target
Unbundling routine antepartum visits from the global (59400/59510)
The denial or audit exposure
Unbundling denial
How we prevent it
We fold routine prenatal care into the global fee and bill only the genuinely separate carve-outs
Issue
Double-billing the global plus antepartum/delivery/postpartum components
The denial or audit exposure
Recoupment and overpayment exposure
How we prevent it
We choose global OR components for each episode — never both — reflecting the care actually rendered
Issue
Billing full global when the group didn't provide all three stages
The denial or audit exposure
Postpay takeback
How we prevent it
We use the split codes (59425/59426, 59409/59514, 59430) when care was transferred or incomplete
Issue
Medicaid/Title X sterilization (58600/58611/58670) without a valid, timely consent form
The denial or audit exposure
Automatic claim denial, no appeal path
How we prevent it
We verify the compliant, correctly-timed federal consent form on file before the claim is submitted
Issue
Well-woman preventive plus problem E/M (99202–99215) without modifier 25
The denial or audit exposure
Bundled problem E/M written off, or modifier-overuse audit
How we prevent it
We append modifier 25 only when a distinct, documented problem service supports it
Issue
Screening Pap/pelvic (G0101/Q0091) miscoded as diagnostic, or vice versa
The denial or audit exposure
Frequency denial and patient-billing complaints
How we prevent it
We match the screening-vs-diagnostic code to the patient's symptomatic status and the coverage frequency
Issue
IUD/implant insertion (58300/11981) billed without the device J-code
The denial or audit exposure
Uncaptured device cost eaten by the practice
How we prevent it
We bill the current quarterly HCPCS device supply code alongside the insertion
Each of these is fixable before the claim goes out instead of chased after the money is gone. Request a revenue review and we'll show you which of them is hitting your remittances right now.
03Counted in five-figure takebacks
Outsource OB/GYN billing services
Both halves, one person
Very few practices can keep a coder fluent in both the global maternity package and the quarterly-changing contraceptive device codes sitting on staff full-time — and the day that one person is out sick or leaves, the largest claims in the practice start going out wrong.
The real case
That is the real case to outsource OB/GYN billing services: you hand both halves of the specialty to an OB/GYN billing company that lives in these rules every day and never takes a vacation from them. Because the global delivery fee is the single biggest ticket you bill and the sterilization consent rule denies claims no appeal can rescue, the price of learning on your own remittances is counted in five-figure takebacks, not rounding errors.
What moves
Every claim is scrubbed and filed within 24 hours, so the global delivery fee that used to sit in a hold queue for weeks after the birth starts landing in your account on time.

04Encounter to paid
What 247MBS handles for your practice
Everything it takes to move an OB/GYN claim from the encounter to paid runs on one certified team — the model behind professional OB/GYN billing services, not a general biller bolting maternity onto a generic workflow:
Maternity coverage, network status, prior-authorization requirements, and contraceptive-mandate benefits confirmed before care, not discovered after the denial.
02Decide
Global maternity & split-care coding
Every pregnancy episode reviewed to decide global versus components, the delivery route confirmed, the antepartum visit count documented to justify 59425 versus 59426, and the separately billable ultrasounds and labs captured without ever double-billing the global.
03Review
Well-woman, screening & modifier 25 review
Preventive and problem-oriented work coded to the right preventive tier, the correct screening-versus-diagnostic Pap and pelvic codes, and modifier 25 applied only where a genuinely separate problem is on the record.
04Comply
Sterilization & contraception compliance
Every Medicaid and Title X sterilization checked for a valid, correctly-timed federal consent form before the claim goes out, and each IUD or implant billed with its current device supply code so the practice isn't eating the cost of the device.
05Enroll
Certified coding and provider enrollment
Women's-health coders assign obstetric O-codes with the required trimester and weeks-of-gestation characters, and physicians, CNMs, NPs, and PAs are enrolled and re-credentialed so nothing rejects on provider eligibility or attribution.
Aged claims pursued relentlessly across Medicaid, commercial, and managed-care maternity payers until they resolve.
Behind all of it sits end-to-end revenue cycle management — the full stack, built for women's health, with certified coders and billers on one team sharing the same record instead of handing claims back and forth between vendors.

05Fluent in both halves

A generalist learns OB/GYN on your claims. An OB/GYN billing services company shows up already fluent in both halves of it — and the difference lands on the remittance:

The rules shift with the setting and the patient mix, and we bill each one to the detail it demands:
Private groups
Private OB/GYN groups
Combined obstetric and gynecologic caseloads where the global maternity package and the well-woman modifier logic decide the month's collections.
What decides the moneyThe global package and modifier logic
MFM
Maternal-fetal-medicine & high-risk practices
Heavy ultrasound, antenatal-testing, and complication management, where each scan and each out-of-global service has to stand on documented medical necessity.
What decides the moneyDocumented necessity on every scan
Midwifery
Midwifery & CNM programs
Nurse-midwife deliveries and prenatal care that live or die on correct incident-to and supervision attribution alongside the maternity rules, often with newborn charges that cross into pediatric billing.
What decides the moneyAttribution alongside the maternity rules
GYN surgery
Gynecologic surgeons
Hysterectomy, myomectomy, hysteroscopy, and sterilization work under the global surgical package, where post-op modifiers and global periods drive clean payment; groups with heavy female-continence and urodynamic caseloads see the same rigor we bring to urology billing.
What decides the moneyGlobal periods and post-op modifiers
Family planning
Women's-health & family-planning clinics
Contraception, Title X, and Medicaid-heavy caseloads where device coding and consent-form compliance are the difference between paid and denied.
What decides the moneyDevice coding and consent compliance
07You stay because the remittances hold
Switching is a handoff, not a project
Moving your billing to us shouldn't put a hole in your cash flow, and it doesn't.
Your systems stay
We work inside the practice-management and EHR systems you already run, so no one has to learn a new platform.
Credentialing in parallel
A named account manager owns the transition from day one, credentialing and payer-enrollment review run in parallel while your claims keep going out the door, and most OB/GYN practices are fully live within a few weeks.
No lock-in
With no long-term lock-in, you stay because the remittances hold, not because a contract says you have to.
The denial drop and the faster A/R turn up in the first billing cycles, not a quarter down the road.
08The largest claims, at full value
Medical Billing for OB/GYN
The largest claims in your practice landing at full value, the first time.
The global delivery, the surgical cases, the well-woman panel. We make the global-or-components call on every pregnancy, keep routine antepartum visits inside the package so nothing unbundles, reconcile well-woman and problem visits so neither cancels the other, and capture the contraceptive device supply your practice would otherwise absorb. That is the payoff of OB/GYN Billing Services handled by a team fluent in both halves of the specialty rather than a generalist bolting maternity onto a generic workflow: fewer takebacks, a first-pass clean-claim rate near 99%, and the delivery fee paid on time instead of aging in a hold queue for weeks after the birth. Medical billing for OB/GYN this precise is how you stop leaking revenue one unbundled visit at a time. Request a revenue review

10Stop betting the largest claims
Outsource OB/GYN Billing — What Outsourcing Looks Like With Us
What changes hands
Outsource OB/GYN Billing to 247MBS and you stop betting the practice's largest claims on whether one in-house coder is in the building that week. Both halves of the specialty move to a certified team that lives in these rules every day — global-or-components coding, sterilization consent verification, device supply capture, denial work, and appeals sharing one record instead of claims passed between vendors.
Outsourcing OB/GYN Billing Services means the delivery fee is scrubbed and filed within 24 hours, denials trend down cycle over cycle, and days in A/R hold under 25 well past the first quarter.
OB/GYN Billing Services Outsourcing also trades a salary, benefits, and vacation-day risk for a transaction-based fee you pay only against claims that actually move, with a live dashboard so you always see the work. Ready to hand it off? or call +1 888-502-0537.

PAY ON MOVEA fee against claims that actually move
We review every pregnancy episode to decide global versus components before anything is submitted. Routine antepartum visits, the delivery, and routine postpartum care are folded into the single global code; only the genuinely separate services — most ultrasounds, labs, amniocentesis, and out-of-global complication care — are billed on top, and we never bill the global and its component codes for the same episode.
We stop defaulting to the global and switch to the component codes that mirror what your group actually did — antepartum-only, delivery-only, or postpartum-only — with the visit count documented to justify the right antepartum code. That's exactly the split-care scenario payers audit, and coding it correctly keeps the claim from being clawed back later.
Almost always because the federal consent form is missing, signed inside the required waiting window, or otherwise technically defective — which is an automatic denial no appeal can rescue after the fact. We verify a valid, correctly-timed consent form on file before the claim ever goes out, so the surgery gets paid on its clinical merits.
When a patient's preventive exam and a separately significant problem are handled at the same encounter, we bill the preventive code plus the problem E/M with modifier 25 — but only when the note documents two distinct assessments. That captures the problem work you're doing without triggering the modifier-overuse audits that follow careless use.
Yes. The insertion or removal procedure and the device itself are separate line items, and the device is billed on a quarterly-updated supply code, so the practice isn't absorbing the cost of an IUD or implant. We also code the encounter to the contraceptive-management diagnosis that triggers the ACA zero-cost-share benefit where it applies.
We do. Certified women's-health coders and billers work as one team, so obstetric O-codes, gynecologic diagnoses, modifiers, and claim submission stay aligned instead of being split across two vendors handing claims back and forth.
