Beginning January 1, 2027, obstetric billing as we know it will fundamentally change. The AMA CPT Editorial Panel has approved the deletion of 16 global obstetric codes, the revision of 6 codes, and the introduction of 12 new maternity care codes. For OB‑GYN practices and L&D units, this represents the most significant shift in maternity care reimbursement in decades.
For many practices, this transition presents an opportunity—a chance to finally be reimbursed for the comprehensive care they provide. But it also requires preparation, documentation excellence, and the right technology infrastructure.
In this session, we will have an interactive discussion about the upcoming changes to maternity care codes, the reasons behind these revisions, and the expected impact on hospital systems, practices, and this vital revenue stream.
