OB-GYN Medical Billing & Credentialing — 9 Proven Solutions
🤰 Women's Health Revenue Cycle Specialists

OB-GYN Medical Billing & Credentialing — Built for Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women's Health Groups

OB-GYN medical billing runs on a payment structure no other specialty uses — a global maternity package that spans nine months and two care settings, unbundles the moment a patient transfers in or switches insurance mid-pregnancy, pays twins differently at every payer, and now collides with 12-month postpartum coverage models that redraw where the global ends.

Pro Health Care Advisors delivers end-to-end OB-GYN medical billing and credentialing built for obstetric groups, gynecologic surgeons, midwifery programs, and multi-site women's health organizations — focused on Global Maternity Integrity, Delivery Revenue Accuracy, and Net Realized Revenue Growth.

Why Practices Trust Our OB-GYN Medical Billing Expertise

Generic billing vendors treat a pregnancy like one big code. It isn't. One patient can arrive mid-pregnancy from another practice, switch insurance in the third trimester, deliver twins by cesarean with an assistant, and return for postpartum care under a 12-month coverage model — and every one of those events changes what gets billed and to whom. Our OB-GYN medical billing specialists work these exact scenarios every day, holding each claim to AAPC-certified coding standards before it leaves your practice.

01

Global Maternity Package Mastery

The 59400/59510 globals bundle antepartum visits, delivery, and postpartum care — until a transfer of care, a mid-pregnancy payer switch, or a high-risk complication breaks the package into itemized components (59425/59426, delivery-only, 59430).

We model global vs. itemized on every OB episode, bill each payer for exactly the services rendered under their coverage window, and align postpartum billing with the Medicaid 12-month postpartum coverage models now active in nearly every state.

02

Twin, High-Risk & Complication Billing

Multiple gestation pays differently at every payer — modifier 22 on the global at some, a second delivery code with modifier 51 at others. Add assistant-at-cesarean (80/AS) and complication E/M visits with distinct diagnoses, and delivery revenue becomes a payer-by-payer decision we make correctly every time.

03

OB Ultrasound & Antepartum Testing

Growth scans (76805/76811), NSTs (59025), and BPPs sit outside the global — but inside frequency limits and medical-necessity edits. We document indications so high-risk surveillance is paid, not bundled.

04

Gynecologic Surgery & Robotic Documentation

Hysteroscopy, LEEP, and hysterectomy families carry 90-day globals and increasingly robotic-specific documentation requirements. Our op-note templates satisfy payer medical-necessity audits before they're ever requested.

05

LARC & Preventive Care Economics

IUD and implant billing pairs a procedure (58300) with a buy-and-bill device J-code — and ACA rules protect patient cost-sharing on both. We reconcile device margin, insertion billing, and well-woman + problem-visit combinations (modifier 25) so preventive revenue stays whole.

06

Dedicated Women's Health Account Team

A named Account Manager plus OB-trained specialists — not a generic call center. A team that knows your delivery volume, your payer mix, and your midwifery arrangements.

Coding Expertise

OB-GYN Medical Billing Across the Full Code Spectrum

From global maternity packages and antepartum testing to gynecologic surgery, LARC, and preventive care — our AAPC-certified coders handle the complete women's health claim spectrum, with CodeMAXX coding review on every claim.

Our OB-GYN Services

9 Comprehensive OB-GYN Medical Billing & Credentialing Services

Standard vendors process claims. We engineer maternity revenue integrity. Groups searching for dependable OB-GYN billing services get the complete stack in one engagement — global modeling, payer-switch tracking, and LARC economics included as standard, not as add-ons.

01

OB Benefits Verification & Episode Tracking

Payer-Switch Protection

We verify maternity benefits at intake and track every insurance change across the pregnancy — connected to your EHR through our EMR/EHR software service — so a third-trimester payer switch never voids nine months of billing.

02

OB Coding & Diagnosis Precision

CodeMAXX Validated

Certified coders validate O-codes with correct trimester digits, Z3A gestational weeks on every claim, and delivery outcome coding. Our CodeMAXX service audits each episode before submission.

03

Prior Auth for Genetic Testing & High-Risk Scans

Maternal-Access Portals

NIPT and prenatal genetic screening criteria, growth-scan authorizations, and real-time clinical uploads — tracked to payer-specific timelines so high-risk care never waits on paperwork.

04

Claims Submission & Global-Aware Scrubbing

98%+ Clean

OB-specific scrubbing covers global vs. itemized logic, twin delivery rules per payer, ultrasound frequency edits, and LARC device pairing on every claim.

05

Denial Management & Medicare Appeals

Root-Cause Engineering

We eliminate repeat denials — missing Z3A weeks, global bundling errors, device mismatches — and file appeals through all five levels per the CMS Medicare appeals process.

06

Payment Posting & Variance Detection

ERA / EOB Automation

Automated remittance processing with contracted-rate variance flagging across your OB-GYN medical billing — when a payer underpays a twin delivery or misprices a global, we catch it and dispute it formally.

07

Maternity Patient Billing & Payment Plans

Family-Friendly Statements

Nine months of care produces confusing statements without careful design. Our OB-GYN medical billing workflows build episode-based patient billing with payment plans — protecting reviews and referrals in a specialty built on trust.

08

OB-GYN & Midwife Credentialing

CAQH · Privileges · CNM Enrollment

Our credentialing team manages physician CAQH and payer enrollment, OB hospital privileges, CNM enrollment under their own benefit, ultrasound accreditation upkeep, and monthly OIG/SAM sweeps.

Common Questions

OB-GYN Medical Billing — Frequently Asked Questions

How does the expanded 12-month postpartum coverage window affect our delivery billing?+

With Medicaid programs in nearly every state — and a growing number of commercial payers — extending postpartum coverage to 12 months, practices must separate what belongs inside the global maternity package from extended postpartum care that is separately billable.

Our OB-GYN medical billing team structures global vs. itemized billing around each payer's postpartum model — so extended maternal care is captured instead of absorbed.

How should robotic-assisted gynecologic procedures be documented?+

Payers increasingly require operative notes to include the specific robotic platform utilization data behind robotic add-on reporting for pelvic procedures.

We build documentation templates that satisfy payer-specific medical-necessity audits — so robotic hysterectomy and myomectomy cases are paid, not pended for records.

Can we bill a well-woman exam and a problem-focused E/M on the same day?+

Yes, when a significant, separately identifiable issue is addressed during the preventive visit. NCCI edits allow the problem E/M with modifier 25 — but documentation must clearly separate the preventive service from the problem evaluation.

We build note standards that support both services — protecting a combination payers bundle automatically.

Can prior authorization for NIPT and prenatal genetic testing be automated?+

Largely, yes. Many payers now run real-time maternal-access portals that let high-compliance practices bypass standard review for NIPT and genetic screens.

We manage payer-specific criteria and clinical uploads — so high-risk pregnancies get testing without authorization delays, and your practice gets paid at correct rates.

How do you keep multi-site women's health groups from getting out-of-network flags?+

Every location needs correct site-of-service enrollment for every NPI — satellite wellness clinics are the classic gap that triggers out-of-network denials.

For every site, our credentialing team keeps an NPI-level enrollment matrix current, watches remittance advisories, and opens formal prompt-payment disputes the moment a payer overruns a statutory window.

Is RAC audit defense included with OB-GYN medical billing services?+
Yes. Every OB-GYN client receives our MD Audit Shield program covering RAC, MAC, ZPIC, and OIG audits — including representation through all five Medicare appeal levels — at no extra charge. Maternity billing faces elevated scrutiny on global integrity and Medicaid compliance, and our proactive validation is built for exactly those targets.
